The clown

I'm just a clown

I make people laugh

I humor them

Make their problems seem distant

But some people

Think that clowns are scary

That they are evil

That they want to hurt you

But that's probably because

Some do

Every clown has a dark side

Some chose to show it

Are you one of those clowns?

You may ask

You tell me

Does the clown you so adore

Have a hidden secret

A silenced blood lust?

A desperate need to extract fear?

You tell me

After all I'm just a clown

I entertain you

I know your darkest secrets

And your fears

The very thing that drives you off the deep end

Sitting back

And putting up a show

Maybe it's all a ruse

Maybe my intentions are pure

But at some point

Everyone starts to crack

Every heart forms a shadow

And every clown

Find a way

To make themselves Laugh
