Circus

Niki

There’s a circus going on 

in this little world 

it’s full of space 

with nothing to waste 

 

The world was once innocent

innocent and free 

but it now lies corrupt

no clue of what to be 

 

It rambles on 

it contemplates

it never truly sleeps

in this world it only dives 

into the shallowest waters of the deep 

 

The world changes every couple of years 

and then sometimes it won’t 

the lies it spread 

the tears it shed

the things it will never be 

 

If one town falls, then so do the others 

those towns were carefully crafted

but so easily manipulated 

 

Those towns are my thoughts. 

My doubts are the circus 

this world is my head

i still hear the townsfolk 

as I lay down for bed 

 

The townsfolk are back

the townsfolk are near

they always come back 

When my circus appears

    I think from time to time we all have a circus going on in our head sometimes it is clowns and other times a tightrope act. Well done
