...............~diary Of A Very Sad Clown~...............



With the start of each day
As in his bed awake he lay
His life comes flashing to his mind
Not a single happy memory he can find
He sits infront of the mirror
To the reflection of pain and horror
On his forehead misery stands bold
But he has to hide it, be ice cold
So he covers his face with paint
Till his agonized expressions are faint
He wears a big red broken smile
Disguise in a mask of happiness for a while
Quickly he runs off to stage
Imprisoning his cries full of rage
Poeple believe that to his destiny he coped
Not knowinh that his heart is only doped
They are tricked bye his fake on-stage shine
By his discretion and ability not to whine
Through skillful tricks minds he daze
At him under the spotlight eyes impresevly gaze
Only to be blinded from the temporarity of his tranquility
Unaware thet he is soon to lose his magical ability
Then on the instance the curtains fall
He again serrenders his mind, body and soul
Own blood covers his hand
His hopes are high castles of sand
Cursed is whose mind doom stains
Guilt running through his narrow veins
And like every night he cries himself to sleep
With his emotional wounds bone-deep.

The mask of disguise, worn by the sad clown. Nice! Clown is a picture of smile… though most of us are just one of this… that’s why, sometimes people can say, I am smiling but it doesn’t mean that I am ok… well penned…

Oh and sometimes you have weird subject verb agreement that doesn't work. For instance, you say 'Through skillful tricks minds he daze'. What it should really be is 'Through skillful tricks, minds he dazes.' Actually, I think that is still wrong. It should be 'Through skillful tricks, he dazes minds', but that throws off the rhyme scheme. Or you could do 'He dazes minds through skillful tricks.' The next line also needs a comma. It should read 'At him, under the spotlight, eyes impressively gaze.' You should put it in Microsft Word in paragraph format, and that will help you punctuate it if you can't do it on your own.

Really good poem. I would suggest going back through it though. You have some spelling mistakes. You should also try and punctuate it too. There are some spots that sound weird unpunctuated.
