Finally Free

Trying something new...

The sunlight reaches over the trees illuminating my pale color

My hooves and limbs, they cannot move

My mouth is permanently open and letting out a silent scream

As the lights and sounds come on around me

The children wait in line to ride me

To kick my sides hard and pull the reigns

Screaming to their delight the fun

They are having this awful day

As the sun starts to set

The children go home

I feel my limbs start to crack 

And my silent scream turns to a furious neigh

I break free of this pole

My hooves can move free

My body no longer taken

Til next mornings glee 

Author's Note

I wanted to try to write about a carnival horse who comes to life at nighttime.
