Do not toss me far too deep lest I will drown
I can only bear so much even if I appear to be a clown
You see me wear a smile but a thousand layers below there is an indolent frown
I put up a show for you and perhaps for myself; a fleeting way to forget today’s down
Look into my eyes, do not be deceived by their sparkles, they could hold secrets of a town
Yet they are pinholes that bring to light the wretched pain my heart bears with every pound
