Carnival
i am
a carousel of personalities
here,
dragons and horses are frozen in time
and lions’ roars are silent
here,
you can join me without charge,
take a seat and
we’ll keep going
‘round and ‘round
forever
i am
a ferris wheel of empty cars
but you can find me
at the top
where i
laugh
at the world below me
and relish in
your mistakes
i am
a ring-toss of rigged misses
i’m
predictable and yet
you continue to pay
for more
and more
but i’m
starting to
run out of rings
i am
a balloon toss of misfortune
the darts were never sharp enough
to puncture holes in my doubt
but
He has always
been able to.
