If You
If you listen....
Listen very carefully
You can hear my heart breaking
It’s a lonely hollow sound
That follows me around
If you look....
Look very carefully
You might see behind my mask
The smile of a broken clown
Who sees the world upside down
If you touch....
Touch very carefully
You will feel my pain
I am an open sore
Beaten down to the core
An empty shell
I’ve nothing left to tell
Listen very carefully
You can hear my heart breaking
It’s a lonely hollow sound
That follows me around
If you look....
Look very carefully
You might see behind my mask
The smile of a broken clown
Who sees the world upside down
If you touch....
Touch very carefully
You will feel my pain
I am an open sore
Beaten down to the core
An empty shell
I’ve nothing left to tell

Wow! You showed great potential in form and insight back then. You've come quite a long way, AP.

I hope You've moved from thinking You're a clown
because You're ink TODAY is often incredible
and gives cause for further thought.

TRUTH SPOKEN INDEED THE THINGS WE GO THROUGH HAVE A WAY OF ESCAPING FROM THE SPIRIT AS WELL AS THE INNER SOUL...BUT YOU CANT LET THINGS ALTER YOUR LIFE OR WORLD FOR YOU HAVE TO CREATE A WORLD OF BALANCE WITH STABILITY OF MIND AND HEART...NICELY SPILLED
