Clown
Feeling of emptiness Hallow shadow and darkness urge to cry is present.. Grimaced face is observed Sadness come my way body is like a candle… malaise Need for comfort heightened Embrace of a mother, a family, i seek a father.. I am a nobody! a non-perfect human. dumb, profound, retarded a helpless young lady, misunderstood and judged for real. Through it all, in hurt i hide. Cried every night, myself divide.
