Caged Clown Poem by Max Soon

Caged Clown


Black and White,
No colours in sight.
Clowning outside,
Crying inside.

Always with a mask,
From dawn, to dusk.
Concealing, Revealing,
Not my right to ask.

Like a Puppet I'm controlled,
Controlled to run, controlled to stroll.
Never to whine, never to scowl,
Inside the cage never to be known.

Outside the windows, white clouds float.
How blue is the sky,
Never was i told.
Maybe someday I might know,
When someone saves me and my miserable soul.
