Some people are good at sharing their feelings
They tell you their woes without a care
Others hide in the dark, afraid to let go
Afraid what will happen if their pain they share
Look out for those souls who hide behind a smile
The clown can hide a myriad of woes
We assume they are always there to make us laugh
So much of their life they cannot disclose
We all have the clowns in our lives
We count on them each day to help us through
Every once in a while we need to take a peek
To see if they are hurting too
The weak must sometimes become the strong
The strong sometimes will stumble
If we let our clowns hide alone with their tears
Their breaking hearts will surely crumble
