"The clown in me!"
by
Jamal

A

clown, A clown, I think I'll be a clown. I think I will make peope laugh and laugh all over town. A clown, that's what I'll be.... a clown.

Sometimes I feel when I'm afraid that I will never make the grade, so I pretend I'm someone else and show the world my other self. I'm not quite sure of the me you see, when I have to make a clown me.

A clown, A clown, I think I'll be a clown. I think I'll make people laugh and laugh all over town A clown, that's what I'll be....a clown.

Sometimes I feel all good inside and haven't got a thing to hide. My friends all tell me I'm better than the rest. I'm better than the rest, it's times like this I ask myself and I let the clown stay on the shelf. I think I'll let the people see the comfortable inside me.

Myself, I'll be myself it's only when I feel let down. I might be scared into a clown, but he can be himself when I can be myself, myself, myself. I think I'll be myself.



The End
