The Frown Of A Clown

The Frown Of A Clown

There is such sadness

in the frown of a clown,

a painted on smile

still a frown up-side down.

~*~

Tear stained cheeks

a trail of his pain,

alone on the streets

rejected again.

~*~

He wears a mask

but beneath a child's broken,

he is silently crying

his sorrow unspoken.

~*~

The frown of a clown

a heart that is shattered,

still he longs to bring laughter

though he's been sadly battered.

~*~

He strives on the streets

living lies to bring joy,

but there is no happiness

for this little boy.
