i hide behind a painted face,
empty smiles, enveiled in lace.
happiness all around me bounds,
i'm forever branded to be a clown.

to see the sparkle,
the gleem in the eye.
to know in my heart,
i'm living a lie.

jealousy haunts and eats my soul,
at the careless attitude.
people prey on the gift i bring,
not seeing my color of blue.

i cry to be free,
from this binding chain.
of the painted face,
of disgust and disdain.

through the midst of faces,
i push and shove.
i want to feel what others feel,
i want to know true love.

replace this pain in my heart,
clean my face of this paint.
come and share your love with me,
my angel, my patron saint.

me.

Captivating piece. I can relate well.
