HE IS A CLOWN


He Is A Clown
He is a clown with a big noses that is round
He has a big sad frond that could almost touch the ground, 
His cheeks are rosy nice and pink 
with a heart that sinks down deep, 

He has the eyes that sparkle in the night wind, 
He sits alone crying about what was and what didn't come 
This old dark world put this clowns heart on the run, 

His old shoes are so big that all his tears fall in, 
His costume be perm pressed, 
His old heart overflown with sadness, 
Every time he walks around every one makes a fuse over the 
way he looks and the way is dressed
Oh, his life is a big mess, 

His face is painted with heartaches, 
He holds his head down low holding balloons for the show 
children run to greet him will hast on their face, 
Wherever he may go his life is one big show, 

When it comes to love he just bleeds 
with the heartaches of long ago, 
in spite of all he has been through, 
He walks alone holding on to his broken heart
hoping one day it will mend and be set free and able to breath
and start living again.

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the80's, 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery / Judy Emery
