A Mark’s Love

Posted on February 24, 2012 | 6 Comments

You can’t keep me caged
I will to be free
You’ve got me locked
The Ringmaster’s key

What can I trade with?
With the jam side down
You’ve taken my wealth
Made me look a clown

Juggling my feelings
On a high wire act
You cut the net free
I see that you’re packed

What if I fall now?
Will you leave the stage?
If I reach the end?
Leave open the cage?

    I’ve been feeling this way for a while. It’s somewhat humorous. I love that. 🙂
