Circus

life is more than a circus
the ringleader has a painted smile
and a plastic heart
what can y ou do when you're helpless
a lion locked in it's cage
just keep trying to claw out
never give up
the hope keeps you going
the bit of faith that one day you might just get out of this act and roam the jungle.
