can you make him smile?
Behind a thick coat of face paint.
A character was born.
Artificial tears of blood,
The downcast eyes and the straight jacket.
I was an actor for a day.
Exhibiting a countenance of no expression,
The light of life was switched off in me momentarily.
I went into the character, my senior even thought that I "lost it."
Did I or did I not? Maybe.
I was not me.
Brought around with a leash around my neck.
A dog, a creature and mad.
My friend showcased me to the visitors.
Some found me "disgusting" while some found me "cool".
But it's my job, my duty and my responsibility to entertain. An act.
Visitors paid to have their photographs to be taken with me.
The freak.
Some of my friends could not recognise me.
Those who could, called me.
But I was not me.
Gave stares and stared at.
I was an exhibit to scare.
I was thought to be "the best that we have."
But I think all my friends were as good as I am.
I was just doing my job.
Finally, I removed my costumed
And washed the face paint away.
The character was washed away,
I resurfaced.
I am myself again.
