Send in the clowns... please my friends, see beyond the facade, hear not just the laughter and feel what i really am feeling inside...
dont be carried away with my laughter,
dont be fooled by my smile,
i may always be the life of the party
i can make people laugh
sing my heart out
dance the night away if i must!
but then my friend...
didnt you noticed that my laughter is shallow?
cant u see there's no twinkle in my eye?
the haunting voice when i belt out
the moves that i make?
did you see me when im just seated at the corner
observing everyone around me?
the loneliness i felt even while everybody is being merry
the longing in my eyes
the sadness in my nature...
and then again...
i have to stand up
and make everyone laugh
which is expected from me
be in the center and again, the life of the party...
and still no one noticed...
