Personal Circus

by Jennifer RIP Lesthat Hayden   Oct 19, 2008


He's so cool, and everyone's friend,
but he's always unhappy in the end.
Funny, smart, creative as well,
but he's living in his own hell.

Depression, abuse, love life awry,
but he seems to be a wonderful guy.
He looks in the mirror and sees a clown.
A false smile painted over top of his frown.

He tries to act happy, always putting on a show,
hoping all would pass right on by and never know.
A miserable clown, who would have thought?
Life is a circus, or so he's been self taught.

Try to act your happiest, to never appear upset.
Maybe if you screw up once, they will soon forget.
Bottle up the anger, and ignore the never ending pain.
One day you lose yourself and in death you will regain.

    A clown is somone that wear a mask , to hide his trully face!! to enter the joy to the heart of others no matter of his feelings or state of mind ,

    isn't it the sttate of msot of us in real life? wearing masks to hide our true innerself , and act teh other way of what we really are ?

    a clown is a doctor of the sad hearts, give him a sad heart and he will heal it ,

    if you see that person , you will say , what a happy man he must be the smile is soo big on his face,

    but look in hise heart, not even all teh doctors in the world can heal his!!

    how life can be unfair to pepole , and leave her mark on there lifes, when she touch there lifes..
