CAMELOT FANTASIES

Comedians
Funny people taking an everyday event
To illicit a laugh
Smiles masking all afflictions
Jokes to incite a light hearted attitude
Devoid of the paroxysm of agony
Darkness envelopes their souls
Their desire to please
Make others happy
An action they complete with ease
Diverting their continual torment
Theatrical beliefs that they are whole
The eyes speak differently ~ contradict
Smiles do not compliment
Their lacklustre stare
That refute the glow
Lifeless and somber, invalidate
Their boisterous over the top personalities
Facial venalities
Of deep dark despair
Where breathing air
Is a tremendous task
Yet that horrific mask
Smiles tattooed
The Show must go on
