I shimmer in the light-
As I swim in the sea
Taking a random path around
As fitting as that sounds
I live for the spotlight
Though I’m the smallest to be seen-
Gaining attention from my peers
Though I know I lack originality
Repeat repeat
That’s the fastest way to fame-
Being the class clown is never easy
Yet my jokes are always the same
School, who knew?
I have better things to do
Or at least that’s what I think
As long as I can avoid responsibility
Have you ever had a dream?
Well sometimes, I think of my wish
One that will end all my trying
And I can be free as a fish

Rewriting the fact this these poems are for a challenge gets tiring...this poem is for the class clown (obviously), and I wrote it this way, because I imagine how exhausting it must be to always try and be the funny one.
