How good is this poem I wrote?

Laughing Matter

My landlady said she can’t take rent from me anymore.

She is giving me a month

to fold my life into boxes

and look for another room
.
I have heard from my neighbors’ mouths before:

“He should pack and go.”

It breaks my heart
into a million pieces,

and I hope

it is only my mind playing tricks on me.

Because this

is not a laughing matter.

This is far away

From a laughing matter.
