Just Another Freak Show

Just Another Freak Show

A Poem by Riley Bray
"

Its getting old.

"
Nothing stays
And nothing goes
We're just another freak-show.
Put around for the public
To witness, and get to know, no.

Nothing
Is what we
Want it to be.
Everything
Is what we
Can't admit separately.
And its getting old, its getting old.

Nothing stays
And nothing goes
We're just another freak-show.
Put around for the public
To witness, and get to know, no.

Often
We sit alone
Out in the freezing cold.
And always
We sit alone
Dreaming for something more.
And its getting old, its getting old.

Nothing stays 
And nothing goes
We're just another freak-show.
Put around for the public
To witness, and get to know, no.

Fighting is a loss
No matter how you see it.
No one there to cross
In this awfully gray existence.
No, no, no no no.
Its getting old, its getting old.

Nothing stays 
And nothing goes
We're just freak-show.
Put around for the public
To witness, and get to know, no.

I can actually imagine this being a song, and a very popular one too. The kind of song that you hear on the radio very frequently. I can feel all the emotions that was poured into this, radiate of this wonderfully written piece. You did an amazing job. Love it

Feel the emotion and it is getting old. Excellent read and write. Sounds like it would be played in C flat.
