the rational mind is cold
and I long to be in your heart
but you seem to be far away
I’m getting old so I’m even told
and tired to perform my art
anyway I’m not sure what to say
the rational mind drowns in an ocean of emotion
while the clown laughs out loud with a fragile frown
trying to clean his painted face with body lotion
It takes courage and honesty
to let out what lives inside of me
for everyone out there to see.
