[hometext] => Sometimes the most important emotions in life do not lie plainly on the surface to see.
[bodytext] => The clown he wears a smile, for all the world to see,
Playing games he’ll make you laugh and set your spirit free. Nothing seems to bother him, no burden brings him down, And when he’s in your presence you’ll never see a frown. He paints a mask upon his face, emotions in plain sight, As though he’s in a perfect world and everything is right. And as you watch each obstacle that gets into his way, You’ll see him take it all in stride, it’s just another day. But hidden from the audience, lies the man you do not know, Who plays his part while you’re around, continuing the show. But watch him close, look past the smile, the truth is what you’ll see, There’s a deep unending pain inside, the clown you see is me.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
