Unsmiling Clown
I don't have red lipstick
Or big shiny black shoes
Or a big squeaky red nose
Or colourful yellow clothes
But I still feel like a clown
With a permanent frown
With eyes cast right down
Juggling all these balls
Walking down those halls
Full of haunted memories
Some happy others sad
Twisting these balloons
As I look into the rooms
Of a past long gone
No joy in this home
