Survival
Surviving is like enduring the hell of a bad clown.
 
 He tries to make you laugh and fails miserably.
 
 Then he makes you a useless balloon animal
 
 
 That’s just going to deflate in a week anyway. 
 He pretends that he’s funny, but we both know he isn’t.
 
 Suddenly he gives up and his painted-red mouth frowns. 
 His paint drips from his skin.
 With a sigh, he gathers his props and leaves
 
 
 And I laugh, because I endured.
