Pessimistic Clown

It Wants Me Broken
like shattered glass

Living in the darkness
of an unforgotten past

Sadness and Sorrow
etched upon my face

My shoulders sagging
every step misplaced

Lost with no Direction
blinded by my own fear

Screaming inside my head
 no one else can hear

The Silence of my secrets
 has finally beat me down

The world has become a circus,
and I'm it's sadist clown
