And, now one and all, step inside!
Make way for the latest attraction:
The greatest & latest new carnival ride
Filled with excitement and action!!
And nobody knew what was in store
as they buckled themselves in tightly.
And it twisted and turned & so much more
as the lights all around flashed brightly.
And they screamed with delight
due to the thrill of the ride
and they came back each night
to go back inside.
and again & again they came back for more
because of the joy it supplied
until the carnival was no more
and they missed the great carnival ride.

This is actually a story about a girl who outwardly portrays joy and happiness while inside she is empty and sad. Her friends love her company but don't know she wants to run away from everyone forever.
