A Mockery

Her life is a circus Making a clown of herself Lacks substantial purpose Balance and health One rope to another Rocking her balance beam The circus is her lover Together they scream Blackened tears Lips a horrid maroon Juggling fears Her life, a cartoon Such an imagination Seeing what doesn't exist An awkward conversation No partner to assist Suddenly a spider Her safety net, a web She grabs a fly to ride her Lands in a pool of red People gather around Curious to see Her body on the ground Her final act, a mockery Her 5 minutes of fame Detours and yellow tape Chalk outlines the frame Of what she couldn't escape An eye witness chimed in Giddy and camera ready He saw her on the end Trembling and unsteady Intently, he watched Gravity run it's course It didn't appear botched Invisible was the source Following her brief report They aired the walking dead Her existence fell short Not one viral thread
