Whiteface Poem by Balint Nagy

Whiteface



I'm just a clown in a circus
Who can't give you anything at all,
But if you look beneath the surface
You might find my heart so true & pure

You know that I've got nothing
You know that I've got nothing

Although the tables are turning
My heart is still burning
Don't know what comes after this…

Seems like I'm flying high
But I'm sinking low
Feels like my heart is made of gold
But it is only made of stone

I should be better
But it is all I have
So if it's okay
Just accept me as I am

You know I'm good for nothing
You know I'm good for nothing

Although the tables are turning
My heart is still burning
Don't know what comes after this…

Seems like I'm flying high
But I'm sinking low
Feels like my heart is made of gold
But it is only made of stone

You know that I've got nothing
You know I'm good for nothing
You know that I've got nothing
You know I'm good for nothing

Although the tables are turning
My heart is still burning
Don't know what comes after this…

Seems like I'm flying high
But I'm sinking low
Feels like my heart is made of gold
But it is only made of stone

yes, it sounds like lyrics for a song, but, as a poem, i'd rather read it without the repetition of lines. everybody is good for SOMETHING, even if it for a good singing voice. ha ha. bri :)
