I stood there, alone
As they joyfully laughed
Just a step or two might have been taken
But for them, the happiness came floating on a raft.
I tripped and fell
For them it was sheer bliss
The smiles were enchanting
Even the blind eye couldn’t miss.
I wondered why they were doing this to me
I wondered why the happiness wasn’t new to me
I wondered why claps filled the sky
I wondered how
I wondered why
And then my heart sank deep
Into the pits, where memories sleep
‘Why?’ I found myself asking, once again.
I didn’t even speak a word to them
Yet, somehow, they were my friends.
So I let them laugh
I let them cry
I let them meet me, eye to eye.
That’s when I gladly upturned the frown.
After all, I’m just a Clown.
“I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately, I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, To put to rout all that was not life and not when I had come to die Discover that I had not lived.”
deep and sorrowful.
