Isn't it funny how a noose is tied around your neck
But your necklace does the same.

Isn't it funny how you're chained to reality
And necklaces are beauty to hide the pain.

Isn't it funny how necklaces are for beauty
But nooses are for death

Isn't it funny how both wrap around your neck
But they have different ways.

Isn't it funny how desperately we try to escape reality
Like escaping a trend

Isn't it funny how hard we try
But success is never there

Isn't it funny how simple it is to wear a necklace
But so hard to take off

The beauty blinds the wearer
Till reluctant do they part.

Isn't it funny how chains wrap around your neck
To prevent you from escaping

But necklaces wrap around your neck
But it's at your own choice.

When I sat down and said "I'm writing a short story today", this wasn't what I intended. I had zero idea why I choose this. I don't even wear jewellery.
