Watch the sad clown die



This world ain't a wasteland
It just taste that way some times.
It depends on the angle
On how you read your lines.
For every brick we stack to come together to build
There's a sick little crack in this foundation still.
Humans! I can't accept them.
Trying to understand them
And what fuels them and their essence.
I'm looking for some leverage.
Catch up, trying to catch me.
Curse-ed, depress-ed.
Here to make you happy.
"Hey daddy tell me why the clown is crying."
"Well son he's got the task of cheering up the ill and dying.
On top of that everybody thinks that he's insane.
Can't fathom why he'd wanna ease their pain."
Walking through this maze made of concrete walls
When you're not allowed to climb there's no way to possibly fall.
When your hands are restricted to hold nothing but self
How can you get a grip?
How can you pick up what you're dealt?
The clown stays sad.
The ground stays hard.
With a couple pounds of migraine, a pocket full of scars.
But the face stays painted on for everyone to gaze upon
continuing the bad dream till he wakes up gone.
Do they see me?
Do they know that I exist?
I know they do.
I can tell by the way they wave their fists.
Weirdo. Freak.
Words of endearment ring in my ears
And cling onto my tears.
My purpose on this earth was to brighten the sun ray
At the circus or parade, house call on a birthday.
A bag of balloons, I can build you a farm.
Became worthless when they took away both of my arms.
Snake charms.
Magic tricks.
The world is flat.
And the traffic is thick.
Got my back to the wind as I watch the inhabitants.
Every thought I come across is bigger than this planet is.
I used to be a normal person
But I held a hunger to experience it firsthand.
I wanted to turn every frown upside down.
Some how my feet separated from the ground.
And the clown stays sad the people stay lost.
Nah, the people are sad, we lost the clown.
But the face stays painted on for everyone to gaze upon
And it will stay that way until the break of dawn.
So throw your hands in the air!
"Oh, I'm sorry you can't you're wearing a straight jacket."

Some times I have this fear of blogging.. talking.. sharing.. It seems like every time I speak my mind I end up offending someone somehow.. When all I want is to have a free voice.. Whats weird is that for the most part i seem to exude the aura of confidant.. people come to me with all types of issues and for the most part Im supposed to be supportive.. objective.. happy to help.. whereas there never seems to be a place for me to be open except in these posts and yet i still get the phone calls and the nasty messages... The worst aspect is the feeling of guilt.. Like I shouldnt have feelings or emotions, and my face to the world should never change.. I dont even understand how thats beneficial to me or the people close to me in anyway.. These are the days when I want to overhaul my whole list of friends and just start anew or maybe become a hermit.. I dunno it is what it is later homes

At the end of the day , how you feel is how you feel and you shouldn't be making any apologies for it. There should be no bending over to play nice and keep everything OK. You'd only do yourself a disservice and it's not healthy . You can't make everyone happy. Either they like what you say you feel or they don't -but at least you've said it.
