All I want to do is make people laugh A quip, a bit of wit, a self put down But it always seems to be a huge gaff "Why do you always want to be a clown?" I thought laughter made the world go around Laughter is my energy, my power It may be my only contribution If only so, even for an hour Why does it claim such harsh retribution? They jeer, it destroys my constitution My weakness is trying to build esteem Esteem needs laughs to nurture its weak soul The sad clown hides the makeup disguised dream Laugh, like, even love me one and, PLEASE, all? Laughter cries in the dark depths of my soul All I want to do is make people laugh A quip, a bit of wit, a self put down But it always seems to be a huge gaff Why must I always try to be a clown? Laughter is what makes my world go around

Laughter Cries
All I want to do is make people laugh A quip, a bit of wit, a self put down But it always seems to be a huge gaff "Why do you always want to be a clown?" I thought laughter made the world go around Laughter is my energy, my power It may be my only contribution If only so, even for an hour Why does it claim such harsh retribution? They jeer, it destroys my constitution My weakness is trying to build esteem Esteem needs laughs to nurture its weak soul The sad clown hides the makeup disguised dream Laugh, like, even love me one and, PLEASE, all? Laughter cries in the dark depths of my soul All I want to do is make people laugh A quip, a bit of wit, a self put down But it always seems to be a huge gaff Why must I always try to be a clown? Laughter is what makes my world go around
This is a TBT that I wrote a few years ago.
