The Clown and Entertainer

by Baron PrideHead

My words, my pride, my sanity has been yours since that dawn of time,

Where the world stopped moving the way I’d rather divine,

All the progress I made to make sure I feel a smile,

All ceases to exist the moment I watch you strut that aisle.


You may cover your shame behind a mask,

But I still see the daggers that formed in your mouth when I refused to lay out what you asked,

The world sees you as a clown, as an entertainer, someone worth giving a second chance,

But as someone with experience under his skin, it’s hard to remember times we had with a second glance.
