LOOSEN UP


I think it's funny,
and for some reason you don't.
I am able to find humor in everything,
and you just won't.

I know that I seem a different breed,
but that's what I enjoy.
I have the body of a man,
and the maturity of a boy.

If it's okay with you,
it definitely works for me.
Because when you look at me and smile,
it fills my heart with glee.

I am just a silly soul,
that likes to entertain.
Would you prefer for me to frown,
as if I were in pain?

I am a man with real emotions,
and I am a clown.
If you want an unruly child that can keep a job,
I'll never let you down.

I know that I seem an amalgamation,
and I make NO apologies for who I am.
If I do not fit into your closed mind,
I really don't give a damn!

So loosen up a little,
and experience life along with me.
Once you open your mind completely,
you'll be suprised by what you see.

So take a look past the harshness of the world,
and LAUGH at the reality.
For when we smile while struggling along,
are the times that we're really FREE!
