Not Your Clown

Yeah, I smile but it’s armor, not a mask

Carry your weight, every laugh, every task

I’m in the back, holding pieces of your world

While you act like I’m nothing, like I’m just a girl

I spit truth, you just sip and move on

Use me for the show, then my worth is gone

I’m tired of the act, tired of the stage

I ain’t your circus, I ain’t your cage

I ain’t your clown, I ain’t here to perform

I ain’t your spark, don’t wait for the storm

Every joke you throw, every laugh you claim

Leaves me cold, leaves me in flames

I’m not your clown, don’t play with my soul

I give my heart, but you take, then go

I’m not your light, just to make you glow

I’m not your clown, yeah, I hope you know

I built your highs, caught all your lows

But when it’s dark, nobody shows

I’m bleeding lines while you sip champagne

Your laughter, your fun , my quiet pain

I’m done with shadows, done with the jest

I’m human, I feel, I’m more than your jest

Keep your applause, keep your fake cheer

I’m standing tall, I’m done with your leer

I’m done with your scripts, done with your lies

No more shadows, I cut all ties

Your laughter fades, your spotlight dies

I rise from the pain, no compromise

I’m cashing my worth, I’m claiming my name

No more your circus, no more your game

I move in silence, strike like thunder

I’m not your clown, yeah, they’ll remember

Not a puppet, not a plaything, hear me loud

Not a joke, not a clown, I ain’t part of your crowd

I bleed, I feel, I rise, I scream

I’m not your fantasy, I’m living my dream

I’m not your clown, don’t play with my soul

I give my heart, but you take, then go

I’m not your light, just to make you glow

I’m not your clown, yeah, I hope you know
