Tears of a Clown

I wore a happy face

A smile that never fades

A glowing round nose

An image that stirs excitement in your mind

A performance that cut across all borders

A therapy like no other!

At the end of the show, you go home excited

Your spirit man is renewed

Relationships on the verge of collapse is re-brewed

A smile on the face of the broken hearted

And stress is given a hoot at

Cos...I do what I do best!

Wipe away your troubles like the morning mist

But who cares for the clown

Who cares whether he smiles or frowns

I am a man like you behind the mask

With the most complex task;

"To make you happy"

Your wife, children and sometimes your poppy

Irrespective of your kind of issue

A tailor made jokes I have to issue

Whilst my own challenges awaits me at home

Sometimes too complex and ancient like Rome

Hanging on my very door

Wrenching my heart to the very core

I ask again

Even though I know it's a question in vain

Who cares for the clown

Who cares whether he smiles or frowns

Tears! I shared for relief

Hoping to receive some sunshine like a leave

Not even a significant other

With whom my troubles to bother

Not even a character pet

With whom my emotions I'll let

Not even a shadow of hope

To take solace in the smiles of the pope

So enjoy the moments whilst it last

Before my troubles catch up with me too fast

You'll look for me, but I wouldn't be there

I may be at the hospital or somewhere gasping for air

Then you would've realized

That me you should've energized.

When you say a prayer

Say one for all humanity!
