In silence I will stand

Always the Joker

Always the Joker

Class clown?

Turn around

This is not really me

Hidden deep

Maybe asleep

Are feelings waiting to be free

Look inside

I won’t hide

But I have to know

I’m aware

A little scared

I’m just waiting to show

But the smile

For a while

Hides the pain inside

Class clown?

Turn around?

Always the joker

I can cry
