Insanity

Here I am
wearing a clown suit
with absolutely no alibi
Here I stand
cowering
behind this mask
smiling a nice hello
as I wave good-bye.

Here I stand
behind this open door
leaving the answers before me
Here I am
finding out what everything is for
a part of nature

The dark horse of understanding

Here I ride
just to amuse them all
crying shallow tears
entertaining a shadow
Dangerous

Here I stand
