carnival

I can hear you heckling me

to play those sketchy little games

and I always convince myself that

I’ve got a shot at winning.

 

and of course I’m one

to be fearless, and eager,

and unbreakable

to take that wild ride with you.

 

but on every revolution

and each wicked twist and turn,

I get a little dizzy–

sick and confused–

and I wish you’d just stop this ride,

and let me off

to let me live–

live to enjoy the lights of the night

with you.
