Alright, I have another poem with the same title, but the two are very different. I guess sad clowns are actually kinda cliche and written about fairly often, but I'm using it in my poem anyway. The poem is kinda saying that maybe the sad clowns aren't really sad all the time, the painted frown just makes them seem that way... As I often feel, others bring me down and I'm not really sad, but others around me are sad making me feel as if I should be feeling bad, too. Let me know what you think!

SAD CLOWN

Sad clown
Where did you go?
If there's more out there
Like me
I must know

Sad clown
I need to see
Just what it's like for you
In the world
Like you I might be

Sad clown
Why are you sad?
Has somebody turned their back
On you?
You must feel so bad...

Sad clown
You're entertaining
You're not so funny like other clowns
Yet I laugh
I'm not complaining

Sad clown
I am like you
I live in a painted frown

If someboy laughs at me, does that make me funny or just plain stupid?

I thought the title sounded familiar. This was a very good poem anyway. I especially like this last lines.
"Sad clown
I am like you
I live in a painted frown"

Very nicely done!
