Painted Smile

November 8, 2014

Bringing out laughter

Is what I am after

Audience laughters

Brings out the clown

The clown who cheers

To those who frowns

 

On the clown

A smile is painted

Upon the face

 

Hiding layers underneath

For a girl who

Breaks under little

Meaningless words

Wanting to take back

The white lies that spills

Out of her lips

 

On the girl

A frown takes place

Upon her face

 

A clown is just a face

Written with my name

Where a girl

Has so much to aim

Yet these expectations

Is holding her back

 

For her world revolves

Around her loved ones

She is a loyal yet lazy

Girl who dreams for the best

And expects the worst

 

On the clown

A smile is painted

On the girl's face
