MAD CLOWN by NEPIEGE

A raging madman living for tweaks

A helpless alcoholic seeking help from the streets

Both swearing they are living for a worthy cause

Just to hear the devil reveling them in applause

The mind is a funny place is what I have come to realize

Staring into empty space, then suddenly you find yourself patronized

It is capable of tricks enabling the most grievous pain

And other moments you will feel like a star again

Living with unquelled demons should have you foaming at the mouth

But all they will see is a boy who is calm and stout

Never let the emotions rule you,

fourteen years this statement still true

have you ever wondered what it's like, needing, something, someone?

It's like looking at the ice cream truck and saying mommy can I have one?

You see, that’s the feeling of hope, wanting, waiting

Just to be held, rubbed, comforted without waning

Then you do some introspection

Looking for love with no protection

Searching for a reason to let them loose

As you feel them eating, starting to tie the noose

You have now come to a realization

Talking to your mind; having a conversation

Barely inches from the corner

Staring at yourself, the you known as the former
