Hiding

man i am 
i cant even speak 
for you could see my pain 
even in my speech
lost the heart 
i ounce cherished
and lost the soul
which made me above ravage 
now i am one
with the dust and the ground
i am in my grave
snoring allowed 
for i got no purpose 
i have no strength 
but i hide my pain 
that is the man i am
today yesterday 
and the days to come
my pain will live long
and never be gone
like one man said 
i am just tears
behind a clowns mask
hiding it away 
no one will find a trace
but only hear the laugh and giggles
but not my tears or cry in the wind
