when the lights fade;

when the deafening

clapping of millions fades;

when the curtain closes

and you take out the wig

and wipe your make up

could they see

the tears forming

in your bloodshot eyes

while the forced smile

lingers in your swollen lips?

could they hear

and listen

to your screams

and cries

of pain and heartbreak?

Could they,clown?

For them,you made them laugh...

but who will make you laugh?

will they know

your story?

will they cry with you?

or will they wipe

your bitter tears?

clown go on laugh

and sing

and do some magic tricks

but it couldn't erase the pain...could it?
