A Clown's Smile {edited}

by EpithetPoet   Apr 18, 2005


Nobody would believe
That my wrist does bleed
People look and think
That there would be no need

Look beyond the clown's smile
Past the tattooed grin
To the point of my broken heart
Where the pieces shred my skin

People say i'm beautiful
I have the world at my feet
With my masochistic scars
Misanthropic tendancies repeat

Tears fall and break
Yet never show their salt
Wiped away in blood shaped blade
Emphasising another fault

My clown's smile...
