the funnymans mask

based on the song-tears of a clown by Iron Maiden
---------------------------------------------------------------------
afraid people will see your truth
  so you lived wearing a mask
a mask 
      to protect you
from all the worlds
                        judgements

as you spun your
                        crazy world
you entered the masquerade
you took a leap
                 into the unknown
to be the funny man
                              the clown

but this mask you wore
also protected you from
     your created illusion
   and the paranoia hiding
                                  within

all around they lit up your name
outwardly was a glow
but
inwardly the whirlwind spun
spinning inside
              the darkness

dominating all bounds

the black fog of frustration seeped 
           into your soul
torment spread its tentacles
trapping you inside the cage of hell

  most fly into heaven
but upon a demons wing
         you descended

 you mended hearts with laughter
          a real life Patch Adams
