Tatters

Oh, but I am just a man an entertainer a man of the people I have bubble gum at the bottom of my shoes and yes, the children cry I know they think I'm scary even when I try and give them a surprise and I see the parent's faces defeated they wanted to do something kind as do I In my sadness, I will glare at myself at the floor at the never-ending winding stares But, I am a man of the people and my goal I want is to be hated now but loved in their memories I am a man of the people I am clown I have been battered Though I am not tattered They will never see my smile upside down
