My mask is what I have become.
A clown drowning in his own tears while smiling for the world.
The paint won't come off.
My skin is stained snowy white and my red nose piece is how I breathe.
Removing a single piece would be suicide
and this why my first faced was dyed.
No one to talk to or confide,
a clown in a cage, telling jokes for your laughter.
HAHAHA...

Naughty words.
Big, bad, naughty words.
They feel like ice,
please give me summer.
To feel the warmth of your embrace...
Ah yes, back to the beginning.

My lips are ****** from biting down to hold the tears in.

Lost in the fog, tripping through words
I stumble upon sight of a flying bird,
but he’s not really flying, he’s lost too.
Poor thing belongs in a zoo more than I do.

That’s hard to say, considering my giant jaw.
Considering the laws against my sharpened paws,
But I clawed my way out and I’m not going back,
Either way, I’m running; now let's get back on track.
Fun stuff
