Dramatic Pause--Poem

Dramatic Pause

By Mike Stevens

Usually, I’m all about laughs, hopefully on purpose,

But every now and then, can’t make my face obey!

Just a frown upon it; I feel down in the mouth

Such overwhelming problems, that go from bad to worse

Don’t see much humorous; nor any solutions

Almost makes me cry out of frustration

Rack my brain for the solution, always in vain

Maybe there are no answers to find

Maybe there’s no way to fix what’s broken

If that’s the case, don’t see myself ever smiling again
