Painted Smile

grange_m

The painted smile appears like a rose

With gleaming colour and a big red nose

His flappy feet slaps when he walks

He only acts and never talks

His yellow wig is gold like a fire

But making people laugh is his only desire

He gets great pleasure from entertainment

Holding his audience in great containment

But underneath the makeup is a sad old grin

With torture of pain like a sharp jabbing pin

He knows nothing can help him with his life

No money or car or even a wife

His darkness his depression that holds him at bay

With horrid thoughts that comes everyday

No medication will help this clown

Just cheer and laughter and a hideous frown
