justin byerline - The Clown

Clowns wear masks
to hide thier sadness
they feel as if making people laugh
will supress thier own sadness
for a while
because making people laugh
gives those people hope
for a short amount of time
so give the clown some credit
because by making you laugh
gives them hope as well

by sticking a feather up your ass
both of you will be tickled
