"Carousel Ride"
By Trigger
Horses run in this roundabout realm
And mingle with fantasies
Dreams live in harmony with music and play
Forgetting bad memories
The sun hangs above and shines a bright gold
Splashing the children with light
Yet, here I sit, drinking their laughter,
Annoyed by this picturesque sight
Everywhere smiles while nowhere beguiles me
To going where colours are sound
The colours, dramatic, the air filled with static
While the carousel spins round and round
My memories tainted, remembered, and hated,
alone and submerged in the dark
While the shadows laughed and danced round and round
In my memories, they left their mark
And here I'll leave mine, with the children that ride
Round and round like the shadows that live
I'll see the air fill with screams, and I'll shatter their dreams
I'm coming apart at the seams, yet I live
My head is spinning like the carousel, spilling their blood
Onto fires inside
Nothing's extinguished, the red is so loud,
It screams like those left on the ride
The carousel stopped, but my head is still spinning round and round
And it's faster than ever
I've finally caught up with the shadows, still laughing,
Do I drink, and I drown, my dreams, severed
Horses are bound in this roundabout realm,
Escape is a fantasy
My history repeated, I'm spinning around,
Just another bad memory

I agree with sIo the rhyming scheme needs worked on then it would be really good, for now it's passable :)

Yeah sIo did kinda say what I tried to. the content is .. known to us. Then again you could redo the scene for us and make us think a second time

this is not bad. my honest opinion is that the rhyme scheme could be perfected and it would be much better but the content is quite original around here.
