Hy...

Welcome back Hyperbole and a Half

Your presence has sorely been missed

You’ve long been held on a single front page

But my interest in you would persist

While the last joke you posted was comically dark

This one’s darkly amusing to me

The state of mind here is rather severe

That builds in intensity

I know that dark state that chooses to propagate

Into every aspect of one’s mind

I know that shallow despair that there’s nothing there

No illusion of living to find

I recognize that feeling that there isn’t any healing

Some odd cutting wound to your soul

I recognize clearly that all you held dearly

Does nothing to make you feel totally whole

The thing more curious about our ways and our means

Is a difference in goal, I believe

I chose to immerse, take comfort in reverse

While you sought a way to relieve

A devolvement into hysterics will do me no good

I have no qualms about wearing fake faces

To me reality is an illusion itself

That my whims and my will simply replaces

Once again after years, my browser must guess

Between two links with “Hy-”

One reaching for light, one resting in dark

Both moving on, by and by

So may you have luck in fixing yourself

Finding restoration, piece by piece

Myself? Well I am content with my words

And their forms that change till my thoughts cease.
