Merry- Go- Round

Life isn't easy, I keep going around and around in circles

The dog that just can't seem to catch up with his tail

Time is spinning, it is maddening and it makes me dizzy

The clock keeps moving forward, though my body and mind are dragging

What has life to offer if I can't keep up with it, it is like a merry go round

Trying to catch it, get on board, enjoy the ride, holding on tight, trying not to fall off

What kind of amusement park is it? Filled with surprises, slides, swings, and monkey bars

What more could you ask for, well inside I am not amused, not even thrilled, I am empty, and shallow

What ride will I be on next, the time will tell, and the playground will call me in, to my depressed shell and my own sulking shadow
