Merry-Go-Round

Time goes so slow,
when you have nowhere to go
and no one to please.
We do as we please
on this merry-go-round of life.
Nothing can stop us.
Neither worry nor strife.
It's just us.
Me, you, and this bottle.
Spinning slowly,
going faster and faster
on this merry-go-round of ours.
Then suddenly we slow...
...we creak to a halt.
And as we all jump off
we feel what it is
that is written on the pages
of our hearts and minds,
what we all searched for.
We're all searching for
complete freedom
and a total escape
from the captivating romance
and lies of the merry-go-round.
