Alone By DJ Tyrer

I sit alone

In a room filled with people

I cry alone

Amongst the hubbub and bustle

The Clown wipes a painted tear

From his eye

The clown lives solely to entertain

Watch him die

Death mocks him with his fixed smile

A crocodile grin

Death challenges the Clown to cards

Knowing he’ll win

The pale mask slips from his face

It reveals Truth

A child questions it all

Slay the youth

But I do not dare to do so

Nor does the Clown care to do so

One by one, they all file out

From the room, they all file out

Leaving me to sit alone

Leaving me to cry alone

A witness to something more than myself

Too preoccupied to see beyond myself

I sit alone

In a cold and empty room

I cry alone

Sitting, waiting for my final doom.
