The circus

greatest illusionist
best show around
Performing trickery 
broken minds 
walking the tightrope 
blinded eyes
ring of fire burning inside 

Magician Sawing unwanted thoughts 
lock in a box 
round of applause 

Face of a clown people want to see
block the frown inside of me
Paint over tears
leave no watermarks in sight
going to be the star of the show tonight 

Open wide lions head
playing deadly Russian roulette
One more go 
will wait and see 
If the lion gets the better of me 

Fortune teller 
crystal ball 
palms read
will tell you all
not of reality, or true life itself 
only the make believe inside your head

This reads like a fragmentary dream of a night(mare) at the circus.
A cornucopia of sharply defined and perfectly apt images and metaphors.

Excellent!

Welcome to Cosmofunnel.
