people don't understand
what it's like
to ride a merry-go-round
and have it
define
who you are
and have it
outline the purpose
of your life.

the cherry red
carnival
music that makes you
smile and unable to resist
the urge to sway your shoulders
and move your hips
and miss the beat.

for futile moments
you stand the side-line and
watch it go round and decide
what you wish to ride
on the merry-go-round.

go on, come hop on
and join me
for a moment of bliss
and the remembrance of joy
and this is how to keep
youth in a plastic animal.

i am a merry-go-round
watch me go round and round
travel in circles and be
carried around
unable to rest
too much pressure on one limb.

when i'm in the police car
i like to pretend
i'm going really fast
and actually catch up with
the carriage in front of me.
i could ride the horse
and imagine the wind
going through my
golden hair and
everything is alright.

and everybody thinks i
have a course set for me
and they can follow this
attraction that is me
along the track lines
and nobody knows
i'm just going 'round and 'round
in circles.

and sometimes
it's raining
and then i'm in the
fire truck
and we're extinguishing flames.
and sometimes
i fall off the merry-
go-round and i'm
drowning
but i'm telling everyone
'it's okay'
because i've learnt how to swim
and even the sore knee
can't stop me (now).
:iconpassionsinsanity:
merry-go-rounds always make me dizzy.
