The person hidden beneath the mask!
The Clown

The clown wears his
mask so very well,
What he feels
you can never tell-
His face exhibits
what the paint portrays,
Acting out
the part he plays-
What mysteries lie
beneath the facade?
Never responding with words
but a shake or a nod.
Always happy or
always sad-
Never can tell
if he's angry or mad.
Is he lonely?
Does he feel pain?
Questions will never
cease to remain.
For the clown wears his mask
so no one will see,
Who the person beneath
the paint might be.
