Colours melt against the dark
A sugar coated daydream that dissolved on your tounge
Quicker than childhood or candyfloss
The playtime you forgot because it rusted
Something so misunderstood you trust it
The memory just a crumb
The dust hoovered up in the second chaos is cataclysmic
In a nest of ribbons I smudge on a smile
It's been a while since we met like this

You may call me foolish
With my Mismatched fashion
A harlequin grin my sultry stains on powdered skin
whimsy limbs limp
Puppetired by passion

Prejudice to this in dark ideas
I become the mascot of your fears
I want to comfort but i make your skin crawl
Hyena laugh till our ears leak milk
And our noses fall off
Too fake and faded lost to years of colours you created
Colours that equate to the dark spark against your defence  
Showing their teeth luminate  
Building shrines that echo our nonsense
Burritoed inside silken sheets
Where giggles flavour each sleep

Don't go so Soon?

We're just testing you
Jesting you
Pulling your leg
Twisting balloons
No doom and gloom
When I'm in my truest form
I'm a different person to who I was before

Born to perform
Fed on charm and charisma
Comic relief,  I sigh to receive and relieve your laughter

So define me remind me
Why I can't always feel this free
Fear me spear me with normality
Try control me conform me
confront my weird and wacky

But

I'm only here to reverse your frown
So please don't be scared of this silly old clown
