Musings of the Insane

Circus

Circle around,

and pile in close,

for a look at a creature

once thought extinct.

**

I assure you all

that you will never see

one in the wild,

or among its own kind.

**

A mysterious creature

by nature,

it stays to itself,

a trait rare in any living thing.

**

So here it is folks!

Behold! The Antisocialis Freakis!

Never seen in any type of company,

it is truly one of a kind.

**

Always by itself,

alone by choice.

It shows no sign of loneliness,

therefore it must not have emotions.

**

This is how most

people look at me,

a freak in a cage,

open to inspection.

**

I do not choose to be alone,

but no one wants to deal with me.

Antisocial, I guess it applies to me,

though not on purpose.

**

I have fans, not friends,

all they do is gawk and point.

I am all alone, surrounded by people,

nothing but a show in a circus.

**

All I want is for one person to ask,

Are you okay?

Instead of looking down their noses

at my scars.

**

But it never happen,

and the show must go on.

And so I keep to my cage,

their entertainment for tonight.
