Laughing in the Shadow of Despair
Finding Humor in the Darkest of Places
Dark humor, oh so twisted,
A smile on your face, it's resisted.
But once it creeps in, can't deny,
A chuckle breaks, through your sigh.
It's the laughter in the face of pain,
Finding joy in life's deepest stain.
A coping mechanism, some might say,
That makes the darkness fade away.
It's the joke that's so wrong, it's right,
A satire that cuts through the night.
A message, wrapped in comedy,
That sheds light on society.
Dark humor's not for everyone,
Some folks just don't find it fun.
But for those with a twisted mind,
It's laughter, they cannot deny.
So embrace the dark, don't be shy,
And laugh at the things that make you cry.
For life is but a fleeting moment,
And dark humor is but a component.
