" Stop Clowning Around "

creeping clowns 

what are you hiding 

behind the suit 

standing in the shadow 

of darkness 

you stare and 

we stare back at you 

the color of your hair-do

who are you with the bright eyes 

no one's playing peek-a-boo 

and the eyebrows that stay surprised

painted grin disguise

you live in a lonely place 

gathering attention 

that's not a crime 

If that's what you see 

In your dimension 

maybe the world is a giant circus 

from your perspective 

the way you portray yourself 

has not affected me directly 

maybe it's not who you are 

It's the bizarre character 

that keeps us wondering 

why you are 

the way that you are ...
