My life is a circus act
My dreams on a tightrope
My nightmares in a locked cage
Each act flirting with death
Trying to impress the audience
My words launched by a cannon
Into the sky where they hit the stars
And catch flame
Acrobats that met death too soon
Haunt me in unimaginative ways
They knock on dressing room doors
And visit my circus
I am the ringleader
I control all doings
But the demons have escaped from their cage
Cornering me, ready to strike
This life is not only a circus act
But a balancing one too
