Carnival Torment

Floating in a silly slumber
with crooked faces staring down.
Mockery- grins and clenched teeth.
My heart heaving in its cage.
Little girl lost- hand held out,
trembling.
The smell of manure in stale air.
Cheery music getting louder.
A man behind a cart,
pushing. Louder, louder.
Closer, closer.
My heart still heaving.
A bracelet ripped and thrown,
a shrieking night of terrors.
Salty tears on a pillow
and a waking of reassurance.
Shrinking, breathing.
Scars that bleed through the night.

Please tell me what you think

    There's definately a frightening feeling created by the words in this piece. I'm not sure if the inspiration of fear is the very point or if there is some underlying story that I a missing.

    Either way, because it inspired something in me I found it a good read. s and best wishes always... ~Genie~
