The Sad Clown

Tony36

I am a clown

But

I where a frown

They laugh at my hurt

They laugh at my pain

Mean while

I slowly go insane

 

Can they not see the tears

Flowing like a mighty river

From my eyes

Yet

They laugh

 

Can they not see

That something is wrong with me

I need help

Not laughs

I need a friend

Not laughs

 

I am a clown

But

I where a frown

They laugh at my hurt

They laugh at my pain

Mean while

I slowly go insane

        Sad but well written Tony - I always feel for what is behind the grin of a clown.

              Those who laughed did not know they are the real clown in life.
              A sad clown with true heart. Well done.

                Very good emotive write, the tears are not always seen by others.
