No one can see me I hide every day,
by the makeup I upon my face display .
Shy of the looks and the whispers around,
but cant they see the little lonely clown.
Often a shy smile crosses my face ,
to someone showing kindness along the way .
Then as quick as it comes it falls back to a frown ,
unbelieving their are really good people around.
Days come and go and alone he remains,
everyday seems to stay the same.
Unknowing this silence he brings upon himself,
for he keeps his thought locked away on a shelf.
Thoughts of why doesn't people like me
why cant I find a friend,
Where can I find strength for this heart to mend .
Who truly cares what I do or don't do,
and as he looks in the mirror he whispers I don't have fun with you.
One day after taking a shower and the paint was gone,
he was looking into the mirror and the look was so strong.
In that very moment he saw what it was ,
they couldn't see the boy that needed so much love.
He dressed that day and went on his way,
and at school everyone was looking that very day.
One child came up to him and told him hey I can see you now ,
I was afraid to talk to your before for you had such a frown.
Fads are just fads but often can hide the person within ,
they are there just to please a certain group a style they share.
Dont let the fad of the day make you uncaring to those about ,
or you may find yourself a lonesome little clown with a lonely stare.
