The clown

 

​

​

There’s nothing humorous in a scream;

There’s nothing beautiful in a scream;

There’s nothing artful about a scream;

A scream is just a scream. 

​

​

There’s nothing glorious in my pain;

There’s nothing interesting in my pain;

There’s nothing fancy about my pain;

My pain is just my pain.

​

​

But there is something that I can do,

to show you my world and give it to you –

I’ll take all the anguish and write it down,

and wear my words like a crown.
