Clowns

by Ashleigh Skye   Jun 8, 2005


I see their painted on faces,
their eyes burn into my soul,
and with that huge fake smile,
it could eat my body whole.

Their menacing ice filled laughter,
constantly ringing in my ears,
and every time I hear it,
it simply renews my fears.

I hear the noise of its shoes,
the constant flap, flap, flapping,
right outside my bedroom door,
it starts rap, rap, rapping.

I sit up in bed,
no longer am I dreaming,
my nightmare it lives,
it's dark eyes gleaming.

I see a big red nose,
poke between the cracks,
I hold back the urge to scream,
and suppress my heart attack.

It barges through the door,
yellow jump suit and all,
my heart jumps right out of my throat,
I press my body against the wall.

My heart starts to race,
my skin turns pale,
all of the air in the room,
suddenly goes stale.

I feel its gloves against my neck,
the clown still looks the same,
all of a sudden it tightens its grip,
and shows no sign of shame.

The world starts to spin,
no longer can I breath,
now I know the clown has won,
my death I will soon receive.

I warned everybody to be careful,
of their beloved clown,
they simply laughed and ignored my warnings,
so I stood there with a frown.

Now I have the proof I need,
to bad they will never know,
of how truly evil their precious clowns are,
when they're not putting on a show.

The clown is finally done,
and I'm lying dead on the ground,
and it looks down on me with a smile,
knowing I will never be found.

    wow...what a unuque concept...a killer clown....

    I like this part,
    I hear the noise of its shoes,
    the constant flap, flap, flapping,
    right outside my bedroom door,
    it starts rap, rap, rapping.

    funny to think of a clown rapping....I also liked the rhyme sequence, it stayed constant...nice.
