Don't dare to breath
Or live your life,
Don't dare to try something new,
Don't do anything or it may end it strife.

Don't make friends,
Don't share common interests,
You are boring,
You lack self confidence.

People will see it
And know what you are,
People will laugh
Quietly from afar.

And men they only want one thing?
Did you forget?
Are you stupid or what?
Genuine? Of course not.

Don't think you are anything,
Don't take what small joys you may find,
Cos in the end you shall find,
That you are left behind.

Don't look forward to anything,
You know it'll never happen,
Don't spread your wings and try to fly,
Don't you know it's all mishappen?

Just live in a vacany,
Expect nothing and you won't be let down,
Exist only in your mind,
You are still just a clown.

The Clown gets it's laughs by what it puts out there.

Remove the Don'ts, begin anew and you won't be seen with the clowns big red shoe.

My Best wishes for you

I wouldn't mind just existing in my own mind right now....clown or not. Good poem, Isis, don't mind me - I'm just venting.

I think I had that personalized on a t-shirt once. It was no way to live then for me and it's no way to live now for this clown. Angry for you!

I agree with michael, though, I can just imagine the scope of the clown, if it existed in my own mind...
