No hope, nothing to look forward to,
No dreams, nothing to cry for,
No tears, all dried up,
Only grief, to smother my heart.
One shouted,
"Attention seeker, attention seeker"
One screamed,
"Whiner, whiner"
I whimpered,
"I just wanted to share..."
One advised,
"Don't be stupid"
One pleaded,
"Listen to my song"
I whispered,
"What about about my hug?"
Just like a circus, with me at the center.
A sad clown, with the smile painted.
I sing, I dance, I entertain
With my over sized red shoes, I pretend.
But a secret still hides within me
A little morbid, little relieving.
I close my eyes, the knowing smile emerges.
Soon it will be time to hang up my red shoes, and stop the pretense.
Until then.....
No hope, nothing to look forward to,
No dreams, nothing to cry for,
No tears, all dried up,
Only grief, to smother my heart.
