The Circus
You do again, I see you do--
 Change the locks and fix the cage, 
 You guide me too, 
 With your whip you hold tightly 
 So your knuckles are blue. 
 
 Oh and you desperately try-
 Attach the mask with glue, 
 Dare to claim that you are cute and innocent, too. 
 
 You think I am deaf to you?
 I hear the echoes of what you say.
 You restructure the hate camps of the Jews, 
 Me, the girl with the straw-colored hair,  
 As it contrasts with your dark curls, you detest the light hues. 
 
 What of this?
 Think they will not see your snare?
 But no, wait-- they do! They do!
 You correct me again, I was wrong, 
 Thank you-
 
 This-this is the big debut. 
 Shoved along across the stage, 
 The audience sees me with their
 Mouths full of mashed peanuts and popcorn 
 Gasping for laughter.
 Not a single protest or boo. 
 
 You paint the sky gray 
 Every time it dares to shine blue, 
 Brooding in your own sour air, 
 Sabotaging everything around you, 
 But I see you made our old friends your crew. 
 You blamed them, 
 But I should have known it was you. 
 
 But wait- a toast-a toast-
 To you, your spite, your anger, 
 You all deserve each other, 
 I will no longer be locked up by you, 
 Old friend- enemy, I’m through.
