Tears Of A Clown

by Teria   May 26, 2007


Tears Of A Clown.

Tormented through high school for his funny ways.
Demented through life by his child-like mind.
Surely this boy will soon become a man..
For he's aged beyond his immature days.
But, the steps it takes are hard to find.

Now knowing his problem, he quietly lies awake.
Never knowing what to do nor what to say.
A mind so selfish, he lives for himself.
His love, his life, and his job's at stake.
He knows he can never walk away.

But, the boy doesn't know what to do.
He's lost in a world, as fake as me and you.
For, the tears of a clown never show.
Which is why we shall never know.

    Beautiful poem with a sad message. It's these kind of people that are shunned in society and will come back to haunt us. We need to care for them, show them they are useful. Beautiful write. Make sure you edit your poems and go over the grammar. There were a few grammar mistakes but overall the poem was great. Thank you for entering the contest. I look forward to reading more from you.

    DARN!
    I accidently pressed comment....
    But continuing on.

    For, the tears of a clown never show.
    Love that line, dearest.
    It's sweet and mysterious and the same time.

    Again, I'm going pessimistic and say
    I don't like this line...
    Which is why we shall never know.
    It doesn't sound like an ending.
    It just sounds as though you're trying to force an ending.
    Which is...
    Not that great.

    All in all.
    I love your words.
    Your grammar?
    Okay.
    Spelling was perfect.
    All in all... 5/5?

    Why is there a comma in this sentence?
    For[[,]] he's aged beyond his immature days.

    [[as fake as me and you.]]
    I don't like this line.
    It sounds pretty cliched.
