fun and games
and bright lights on strings
stuffed plushies & autumn leaves
and kindness from every
person i see
until
you remove the carnival glass
and im seen for what i am
and the carnival goers
in all their own carnival masks
do not understand
ive spoken my truth
so they pack up the stands
pile bright costumes
into dark vans
and i find myself left
with an empty field
of cold air
