Open Mic Night

The Stand-up Comedy in my Head

By Logan StanislawPublished 3 months ago • 1 min read

When I lay in bed

And the nightmares

Begin to hold

This crucifix in place

Above my head

And the demons

Take their place in line

To take the stand up mic

In time—

To the beating of my heart

They rhyme—

The joke of my desires

Entire manifest destinies

All written to the tune of one joke—

Me.

Everyone’s in on it

But I can’t see it

Cuz I’m bending over backwards

Just to deal with how my day was.

And it’s hard to laugh

Or breathe

When you’re constantly bent

At 90 degrees
