Comedy Of A Songwriter

In the depths of night, with pen in hand
A songwriter sits, in a foreign land
Searching for words, to paint a scene
Of love lost and dreams unseen

But oh, the tales of woe and sorrow
Writing tragedies in rhyme
Laughing through the tears
Of melodies and time

Each chord struck, a bittersweet note
Memories flood, as the words emote
The audience laughs, but they don't know
The pain behind each lyric's flow

But oh, the tales of woe and sorrow
Singing sorrows to the crowd
Finding solace in the music
But never saying it out loud

In the spotlight's glare, they find release
Pouring their heart out, seeking peace
Though the world may see them as a jest
Their songs hold secrets, unconfessed

But oh, the tales of woe and sorrow
Masking truth with every line
Turning pain into poetry
In this tragic, comic design

So let the laughter fill the air
But know there's more beneath the glare
