Glowing world awaiting exploration
Steel gates that seem more like a suggestion
Pulled into the gravity of twisted liberation
“Two tickets please,” your voice steady and sure
Heavy against distant screams and laughter
Your eyes hold weight I’ve never been through
And I’ve never known you but I’ve had to
Concessions stand and concessions made
Funhouse mirror becomes clear
Approaching the big drop I lose my nerve
And you are there
Hauntingly aware
Disoriented and glimmering
The night carries on
And I don’t know if I’ll ever escape
And I don’t know if I want to

Wow that sounds like something dreadful putting all that pressure on yourself it shouldn’t be that hard

That is the price we pay. Confronting the dark makes our light brighter. ‘Concessions stand and concessions made’ ‘Funhouse mirror becomes clear’ is my favorite stanza in this piece. Well done and thank you.
