Do you go putting a smile on someone’s face
Whilst your inner soul feels totally out of place?
Are you the one who acts as the silly clown
Yet your whole world has come crashing down?

Do you hide behind the daily masquerade
Feeling inadequate, but playing this charade?
Are you ashamed of what you have become,
Strangled with fear and feeling so dumb?

Why do you make others so feel so good
But you don’t feel it cos of the dark mood?
Why do pretend to have everyone’s back
Yet looking into your eyes, all I see is black?

Come, my friend, tell me your tales of woe
Not the entertainment you put on for show.
I am hear to listen, not to bring you down
For I know behind your face is a dark clown.

Do you know many comedians are just like you?
Full of sadness, dark clouds hover over them too.
