The crown 👑

on a clown 🤡

The 👑 on the 🤡
by MissT

Why did I give a crown to a clown,
And call his chaos love?
Why paint his tricks as destiny,
And bless the fool above?

He juggled lies like candied truth,
And wore my heart for show;
A circus built on empty vows,
Where laughter masked the blow.

I danced beneath his spotlight’s glare,
Believing I was seen
But queens don’t need applause from fools,
To prove they’ve ever been.

So I took back what once was mine
The crown, the calm, the flame;
And left the jester to his stage,
Still whispering my name.
