Tatters
Tatters, a tall funny clown
Is so famous in town
Always at a birthday party
Making kids extremely happy
But every trick or joke he makes
A disguise of his heartaches
Brought by his painful past
Grown at streets, feeling outcast
Parents died when he was ten
Adopted, abused and maltreated
He left home and went astray
His life went miserable everyday
Trying to cover up his sadness
Works at carnivals for madness
Entertaining people at parties
Loud laughter conceals
Within his bright costume
Are tattered clothes and soul
Struggling to hide his gloom
While trying to cheer us all
