Ramblings

She cracks a joke to clear the air,
A punchline for her heavy heart,
With neon ribbons in her hair,
She turns disruption into art.

"I’m totally fine!" she loudly claims,
Then trips over a flat, smooth floor,
She plays the wildest comedy games,
To hide the lock upon her door.

The crowd all laughs at her routine,
She wears her humor like a shield,
The loudest girl they've ever seen,
With secrets never quite revealed.

But behind the grin and rapid wit,
She waits until the room is bare,
To let the bubbly costume split,
And breathe a sigh into the air.
