Circles
Everything in life is a circle.
What goes around, comes around.
Circles can abuse.
Circles can kill.
Circles can trap you against your will.
Everything in life is a circle.
No beginning and end, just a continuum.
Circles can threaten.
Circles can fear.
Circles can ruin your every year.
Everything in life is a circle.
A boundary which no one can cross.
Circles can tie.
Circles can bind.
Circles can trap you in the memories of your mind.
Everything in life is a circle.
A corral for their every whim.
Circles can hold.
Circles can contain.
Circles are all that is left to remain.
Everything in life is a circle.
A pentagram painted on the ground.
Circles can rape.
Circles can hide.
Circles can take you for a long painful ride.
I am afraid of the circle.
A feeling I just can't express.
I feel locked up inside,
with no place to hide,
And the memories only progress.
