Nothing to Laugh About

nothing to laugh
nothing to laugh about

no one that i know
seems to understand
comprehend ink on my skin
lets out a bellow
'epiderm dermis'
clown on my back
on my spine makes me whine
for my karma unmello
yellow am i
like my skin like my thoughts
i'm afraid of my own skin
i want to pull off
back i see in house of mirrors
i hold my scissors upside
nape of neck i will slice
give me a hair cut
but it's not my hide
that comes off of this dog
it's my hide with a knife

complexities ride
comprehension's hide
complicated side complexion is dyed
complementary skin color sinking in
tattooed color scheme
needle paints the theme
when i go to sleep
thought is not so deep
surface mind of own individual tone
color that is right through the dark or light
what difference is made
independent shade

this is nothing to laugh
nothing to laugh about
