Keep them Laughing

he covers up the pain of his upbringing with comedy making people laugh gives him purpose the louder they laugh, the more he performs He is a monster, an alien, a dog and pony show He is a trickster, a jokester, a jester, But wait….. There is a side the people never see Because he is a trickster his feelings are his own he keeps them hidden in the sleeves of his costume never bringing them out hiding them behind a super wide smirky smile a clown…. No matter how dim things get no matter how dire how alone, or lonely or depressed he feels he covers this up with cloaks and daggers Pulling rabbits out of top hats stunning the audience with sheer outrageousness Keeping them laughing so, he can cry in silence…..
