I've always said, I've always said... "the best comedians are the saddest of people" because if they can't make themselves laugh, if they can't laugh at themselves, well then, what's the point that's why clowns clowns paint their faces so sad for their own reflection laughter at the face of despair taking such time such artistry in the detail on a masterpiece of a face of the truth inside wearing for all the world to see on the outside and those that paint on a smile well, that's just as reflective of their truth but oh that sad one is wearing his frown for all the world to see laughing at his antics but the tears don't need painting can't you see |

i truely like the way you make the reader sum up all the things they try to hide from even there closest of friends to only have the thought of opening up and smileing at it.. taking what ashames you into hiding from your social life and laughing it away.. i dont like clowns, and to be honest, i was skeptical at first to read about clowns.. but im glad i did.. i enjoyed reading this.. totally not what i expected..  ..wisdom comes from the better choices of stupidity.. |
