Treated Like a Rag Doll

She was treated like a rag doll
Fought over as if she was inanimate
They argued about who was going to have her

She rolled her eyes
They were both clowns.
She wandered out of their circus

Took off her mask and began taming her own lions
One beast at a time
Never again thinking about the clowns

These poor clowns (and politicians) can't do anything good...according to Hollywood. But who can...outside of themselves? For sure, let no one steal your joy. Excellent write!

And, I'm suspecting she will live happily ever after, for she has found peace with herself in doing what she needs to do. Another fine write, Caren.
