Under the Big Top
Inspired by Dialogue with Marie381Uk
It's all a circus
and I'm just an acrobat
swinging along
hoping there's a rope to catch.
My greatest fear;
falling down
before it's my time.

They put up this tent
around 40 years ago.
It's stood quite strong
despite all of the hot air that blows
out of mouths from all those
who swore they were so fine.
-
I'll twirl up above in the rings
so it looks like I'm dancing
and soar through the air
defying gravity's romancing
myself , cause I've learned to love me
after all of this time
-
After all the clown shitshows
I've finally learned how to fly
