Like a Clown

You treat me
like a clown

Bad-mouthed me
all over town

In your efforts
keeping me down

But it’s you
wearing the frown

 

You don’t see
me coming around

‘Cause the happiness
that I’ve found

Removed the pain
that was profound

When under foot
I was ground

 

No longer do
you fool me

Your true colors
I did see

I choose never
again to be

Under the control
of an enemy

 

When the things
that you do

And the words
coming from you

Cause me pain
and hurt too

Shouldn’t I say
that I’m through?

 

If you really
do love  me

Why won’t you
set me free?

If you wish
happiness I’d see

Time that you
let me be!
