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 ...
