Looking Through the Eyes of A Clown

I carved a smile to hide my pain

and throw puns to remain sane

I live for my people's laughter

and tire myself with endless banter

But when the light goes out

and my face awashed

I looked at the mirror

and see a different person

Tormented by fate's insanity

crashed by someone else uncertainty

I harbor my tears to shelter my being

and cut my heart to numb my feelings

I scream in pain

But no one hears

I plead for help

but no one cares

I lost myself in the pool of gloominess

till nothing is left to end this weariness

my soul is stuck in this endless pit

and so I close my eyes as I end it...
