Song Of The Clowns Poem by Dajon Fleming

I hide my face, in shame and disgrace
I hide behind the shadow thats undefined
I put on my makeup, to cover over my fears
I place a smile on face, to cover up my tears

Cause this world is my circus, my theme park to pain
This world leaves me helpless, I'm lost in the rain
Don't give me a mirror, I'll only look away
Cause this act of mine, makes me so ashamed

Look at all the people laughing
They think I'm a joke
I have real feelings, behind this mask
Its more than what you think
I have dreams to be free, from hallucinating about my dreams
But love and be loved, seems so far away from me

Cause this world is my circus, my theme park to pain
This world leaves me helpless, I am lost in the rain
Don't give me a mirror I'll only look away
Cause this act of mine, makes me so ashamed
