Mistakes, who does not know them. To onlookers we can appear the fool, like a clown.


Poem Artwork

It happened so fast

as if there were no time

things all changed

I was lost

in thought left behind.

I could hear the sniggers

one by one

as I made mistakes

could not keep up

hold on.

I was a clown

for a moment

more by default

you see they can laugh

but then they were silent

they saw

I was right all along.

Gut feeling can be

stupid you see

makes you do things

the Ba Ba Black Sheep

do not percieve,

they only know

go with the flow

I for my part

that was just

a no go.

So a Clown for a moment

it raised a few laughs

then all went silent

when they saw what had passed,

then started to mumble

as I smiled back

whose a clown now

i wanted to ask.

It's wonderful to be right for a change… Even if everyone thought you were wrong and laughed about it at first.
