Heavy make up
Lips so full
Red lipstick with smudge on the edges
Nose with a round green patch
Soulful eyes with lightning signs
Hiding pains and sorrow
When you take the center stage
Everybody guffaws
Expectations are high
Audience applauds like they want magic
They just ache to escape reality for a few moments
Then you let go
You perform
Outrageously funny
You own the place
Bring the world to euphoria
You showcased your gift
You create a surreal world
You endow laughter
You have to
You have no choice
And you are the best, Mr. Clown
Albeit the fierced lightning symbols on your eyes
Hide tears from the deepest sorrow of your soul.
