Adults and Carnival Rides



I went to a carnival once 

It has all the amazing rides

From ferris wheels to rollercoasters, 
It was such a sight 

I toured myself around, 
Past the faces of blurred identities 
Television noises surrounding the area and excited screams were heard 
As the coaster went down and up, when the ferris wheel took them to the highest point 

Children gleefully riding 
The smiling horses of a merry-go-round 
Which resembled a music box I used to dream of having, back when I was younger

Everything was bliss 
Cotton candy was stuffed inside mouths and popcorn was served 
Endless amusement surged through every border 
Magic tricks performed at the corner of my eye

I walked along with a ticket in one hand 
Until I reached the exit 
I went out disappointed
