Laughing Stock
am i a laughing stock
if others are a sentence
am i just a full stop?
do others,
wear self pity
like it is going out of fashion
are there pieces
vital bits that are missing
am i a question mark
or just a laughing stock
if others are the guillotine
am i just the block?
if others are just the sheep
where is my flock?
what does it all mean
when you feel down
and you wonder
am i a laughing stock
if you are the hands
am i just the clock?
if others are the sentence
am i just a full stop?
