Bring On The Clown

Bring On The Clown

She wore a temporary smile,
That appeared from time to time,
Her look was versatile,
While Living in a pantomime.

They took her for face value,
Rather then seeing deeper under skin,
No one could ever break through,
As she never let them in.

Past emotions whirling,
Through a thick smoke of morose,
Though the world will keep on turning,
Her door began to close.

She will always paint a smile,
And parade it with silent cries,
For it’s not the first time in a while,
She’s put on her painted disguise.

Very good rhyming here, Lucy.
The abab rhyme scheme you've chosen to use featured some inventive end rhyme pairings as well, such as ❝value/through❞ and ❝cries/disguise.❞
More important than the technical aspects is the message your poem conveys.
Sometimes you gotta read between the lines or look a bit deeper than what is presented at face value in order to get the full meaning.
Excellent...
