LAUGH AT ME

Standing alone in the circus ring
Watching the people all stare
They sit together all laughing at me
Nobody seems to care
This is the only life that I know
Dressing myself as a clown
Always I wear a smile on my face
When really it should be a frown
Running around and jumping about
Always I'm acting a fool
If I should take this smile of my face
Would they still treat me so cruel
They'll never see behind this disguise
All that I feel in my heart
The clown he is happy, while I am sad
Our world's are far apart
When the show's over and you have gone
back to your family and home
I will return to my dressing room
sitting there all alone
Only the mirror upon the wall
knows how my life is to be
The world is full of so many fools
The biggest of all is me

| Yes I relate to this. I show a face to the world that is happy, but alone at home, I show my sadness. A clown mask is what many a comedian wears, and they are some of the saddest people off stage. Good write, and with a lot of meaning. Sue x |

| I like this idea, I have also struggled with my mask. I'm normally a cheerful person but sometimes it's just a painted smile so I don't have to talk about what's wrong. Your mom is an excellent writer. |

| That was really good and so heatfelt. I can relate a lot to this poem. We all wear masks when everyones watching but when they're not we all take it off and let our faces breathe. Nicely done. |

| That poem seems to describe how I am at the moment, I am really impressed how your mum describes how being a clown is like how we go through life, Brilliant!!! |
