the words of a circu$freak

you & your condescending looks, the way you walk all over me.
in my head, i am throwing you out the window, laughing.
i try to open my mouth & to fight back but i’m only wasting my breath.

you want to throw me away & recycle me, “fixing” me.
you try to erase me away to nothing more than a trace of who i am.
& tear me apart to nothing more than a shred of conformity.

does it make you smile, to see the anger burning in my eyes.
even in the moment of my escape, you try to asphyxiate me;
you talk & you scream; you’re only wasting your breath.
