Circus of the Unknown

I'm having a really crappy day right now...so I wrote this

I’m tired of being strong,
always fixing what’s gone wrong.
Not ever showing my emotion,
just watching everything, like in slow motion.

My heart it screams for me to choose,
to let them win, letting me lose.
My head it says for me to hide who I am,
not to let go of this suffocating sham.

I’m tired of being the leader,
for once please let me be the needer.
I want the tears to run down my face,
letting people see some emotion…if only a trace.

My soul it cries to be let seen,
to let the people know what being me means.
My fears they beg to be yelled,
not caring who knows, just wanting me to be held.

I’m tired of putting on this show,
it has brought me to a new kind of low.
I’m tired of putting this smile in place,
I want to wipe that damn thing off my face!

Hear me cry, Listen to me moan,
be a witness to what’s never been shown.
No longer going to be on put postpone,
Welcome to the Circus of the Unknown.

I know the grammar isn't correct...just ignore that

What a total work of art. I love the way you used metaphors to deliver your emotion into this work of art. "The circus of the unknown" ....such a great metaphoric title to begin with. And the way you stayed behind that title, and told the story throughout was pure genius. Once again you have displayed your talent through words. Thank you for sharing. I love reading your work.
