clown
A simple clown.
 Her job is to make people around her feel important
 To make them superior to her
 She gives them happiness all day
 Hand them balloons and paint their faces with joy
 But when that clown gets home she just becomes an ordinary person
 Quiet and scared
 Her very being seems so fragile at times
 When she’s alone she dreams about what life would be like,
  if something had gone better
 
 The monsters come out in the darkness
 Out of her tender heart
 And such a happy person goes to a place where only the devils sleep at night
 Where only the unwilling can stay
 Don’t wonder,
 Don’t stay here
 For the weak cant handle it
 Don’t think hear, don’t look
 Because you may be afraid,
 Of what truly belongs in the broken
 
 No person would have dared to think, 
 Thought to hear her unspoken visions
 Because they never listen,
 Never listen to the thoughts she has to say
 To her words that are so plentiful with kindness 
 And when she finally breaks,
 to a point of distinction
 No one could accept she who is unhappy
 For it is a flaw
 One that everyone holds
 The one that people die over inside
 
 This clown so alone at heart 
 Desires love for her
 To have someone to be there in the dark,
 When she is crying herself asleep
 She can only dream of fake fantasies 
 But everyone else only wants and never needs
 
 
 So truly silent she
 She fears of saying the reality
 She doesn’t know what they would think
 If they heard the very plans she holds to herself
 Or what beauty lies inside her
 For what would people think?
 If they saw her minds eye
 What she sees inside
 Would they understand?
 
 So me, like this clown
 Wishes upon a life to be fulfilled
 With happiness in every moment
 To have everything lost back within her grasp
 To make of what she has now
 For people to cherish her for who she is
 
 Myself a clown.
