A Circus In My Head

Excellence Award in the 'Write As Rain 2014' competition

The cold, hard ground,
Bearing a deafening sound.
My head starts to ache,
My body won't wake.

Lying on the surface,
Tangled in chains on purpose.
Trapped in an enclosure of lies,
Where no one can hear my cries.

A circus in my head,
Poisoning as ever like lead.
Blurring my vision in black,
Never to return back...
