identity

i am a clown
i need to get this out.
i am a liar
come tell the choir.
i am a savior
i'll be in the paper.
but most of all
i'm short, i stand tall.
defend yourselves
before life gives you hell.
people like me
won't be around to see.
i cannot help
when you start to yelp.
grow a backbone
build your own.
it's scary at first
but when worst comes to worst
you'll be your own hero
guilt count is zero.
