Joker

I'm the joker
                       the clown who can behave
                    but people can still walk away
                 If I cry then my makeup will smear
        so I wipe it away,till I'm alone to release my tears.
                           I can be your clown
                          all you gotta do is ask
                        if you change your mind
                        then I'll take off my mask.
                          Am I a attention seeker 
                 or do I feel like I'm easily forgotten?
                        maybe the clown makeup 
                         is my way of protection
                         cause if you see my tears
                   then my feelings may be spoken
           different outcomes and different reactions 
          maybe my troubles are to much for the person.
                             I can be your joker
                          all you gotta do is ask     
                        if you change your mind
                        then I'll take off my mask.
