intrinsically emotive and spoke with

the sharpest of wit simply the dopest

educator and entertainer he'd rarely fail ya

stories of the past would help explain the

farce the shroud the cloud hanging over this loud

and rambunctious youngster twisted tongue that wowed

see under all that exterior, was a broken interior

a wall a fortress like eddie delirous felt inferior

had to cover up the other stuff swept away and piled up

the deepest of pain heavy rains had riled up

a deep underbelly dampened spirits but he played it carefree

you would never know, the way this man put on a show he barely

showed his true soul, fold his deep holes

there were very few who knew the depth of his pain and unrealized goals

but when everyones laughin and enjoying the goodwill

how would you suspect the suffering, intervention was futile

and soon we'll see what he thought would make him feel free

the actions that sustained a result of deep childhood pain

it was a negative gain, that compounded and grounded all his fears

the cover up shut everyone up, but the real hurt dug into his core for years

and there's only so far he could go before he froze

behind the smiles the laughter, the tension on his face the strain shows

but nobody noticed those, his girlfriend he proposed

suddenly a changing of fortune, spirits lifted for his rose

forgetting the past, a toast

they were jealous of the man, and his engagement party pose

he had life in a stranghold but thats when he got entangled

a sheer twist of fate, left him bruised and mangled

see before the bride got married she wanted a break

just some time off so she could realize whats at stake

determine if the choice was right and true love was their fate

the alter was in sight, so things were still looking great

but thats when she met a new mate on a new date and it quickly turned

the engagement broken off the girl he yearned for had simply burned

his one and only path out of his bloody bath

depression quickly stepped in crept in mouth aghast

all the pain he'd swept to the side with no one to confide

had broken him in two the greatest of divide

the palms are sweaty as he grips the revolver

his only problem solver

like a damn bursting emotions simply flew in

past memories had refused to use him

now simply grown beyond his own distractions

everyone loved this clown, but few could forecast his actions

he brought joy to them all, but that was his greatest downfall

the masquerade had played its final sharade its final call

the sun rises on a new day, grab the paper check the news today

the community was completely shocked, this town completely rocked

the local hero found down by the rocks

two men found shot dead weapon in the jesters hand

bodies lay silently the mans uncle, the boys last stand

Very good use of words there Tim. And a good grasping story.

"the cover up shut everyone up, but the real hurt dug into his core for years" - I thought this line was attractive when I read it.

"he brought joy to them all, but that was his greatest downfall"- For those taken advantage of, I can certainly relate.
