Laugh at Myself

Laugh at myself. Go ahead.
It’s okay. In fact, it’s good!
It’s not cynicism; it’s medicine, modeling.

I’m practicing perspective.
Consuming happiness.
Not taking myself so seriously.

Laugh at my own jokes! It’s not egotistical.
I’ll get a break from the struggle.
Maybe I’ll make you smile... maybe not.

Life can be rough, so change the tone.
Maybe I’ll convince you...
Don’t take yourself so seriously.
