Jokes from a sad soul

a man sits in a psychiatrist's room
discussing his problem with the doc
he fidgets with the things around him
and kept looking at the clock

the doc looks at him and asks him random questions
the man just keeps smiling and never answers
the doc tells him he has to talk to solve his problem
then the man replies I don't know how to answer

the man begins to tell the doc
how he is never happy and always filled with misery
his heart that is never satisfied
and depression that never lets him be free

the man tells him how he doubts his life
the loss of purpose or the will to try
he says all this as tears roll down
and then he breaks and begins to cry

the doc suggests a final prescription
the doc says “why dont you go see Salvin the clown”
i'm sure he could cheer you up
I heard he is the best in town

his jokes have cured many of my patients
his insight on life is beyond compare
his jokes and quotes can cure any depressed man
why dont you go see him at the fair

the man begins to cry even louder
and screams “the there is no hope for me”
that clown you keep talking about
that clown is none other than me

the crowd all laughs
they all clap and stand
curtains close, the story ends
the man nods his head “they'll never understand”
