I've painted my mask clearly,
Such beauty in the madness,
I've painted rainbows and stripes,
A maze for you to be lost in,
But you never tried throwing water,
To reveal what's behind the color,
Because I don't want you to see,
And I know you never want to see me,
In reality I am a disheveled mess,
My body is thin and getting pale,
My eyes are heavy like curtains,
I'm bleeding every day,
If I were to finally shed a tear,
One single drop of water from my eyes,
If I didn't claim I was having a hearty laugh,
I know I'd be ridiculed,
You'd throw me out to the dogs,
I'd be left alone and defenseless,
I know this to be true,
Because you swore it yourself,
But soon I'll go mad from this,
All these tears I cry alone,
Being dealt with so harshly,
All while keeping you happy,
It's becoming unbearable,
I know I'm useless to you
But it is my job as the joker to laugh,
So that is what I will always do.
