Gedicht der Woche 

Tears of the clown

Behind that make-up:

Real sad eyes -

But they don’t need to know

One deep breath in

Put on that smile  -

And go on with the show

There was a time

When you felt blessed -

But that was long ago

Now laughter, joy

And happiness

Have turned from friend to foe

It’s the kindest hearts

That felt most pain –

But they are learning slow

One deep breath in

Put on that smile  -

And go on with the show

Behind that make-up:

Real sad eyes -

But they don’t want to know
