it's better this way
wandering
alone
out in the wilderness that is life
the painter paints
in monotone hues
don't be fooled
by the tea dances
by the laughs and smiles
toilet selfies that beguile
haven't you heard the clowns prayer
haven't you read the tramps guide
a heart exhales
for a brief while
when it relieves another
and for a brief while
its not so sad
to live in this sad
world
