Professionally Unhinged

They call me crazy.

I tell them,

"No, no...

crazy is a hobby.

I'm practically a professional."

Life throws problems,

I throw jokes.

The bills laugh,

the stress laughs,

even my bad decisions

seem entertained.

I treat disasters

like unexpected house guests,

offer them coffee,

pull up a chair,

and ask which part of my life

they've come to ruin today.

So I keep smiling,

cracking jokes

like a comedian on a sinking ship.

Because if I stop laughing,

I might accidentally

start thinking.

And trust me,

the voices in my head

have terrible ideas

and an excellent sense of humor.
