Pig Circus

Being escorted into a room 

Should make anyone feel important 

              Not this time.

Being the only one dressed in bright colors

Should make heads turn

And cause tongues to wag

             This I got right.

 Adorned with metal bracelet around my wrist

 Basking in the unwanted attention  

 Hold On!

There is something I failed to mention.

This is my trial 

To be convicted for something trivial 

Now, I await the verdict 

My plea of NOT GUILTY!

None would credit 

So though I wait 

I know which way it will go 

Spectators...watching 

Shouldn't I put on a good show 

on the outside

whilst my heart race for what is coming on the inside
