Running Around

Back and forth, back and forth,

You make me run in circles around you,

You have utter control, and will have nothing more.

I have no say, of course,

But sometimes,

I wish I did.

And I just keep running in circles.

Growing dizzy,

Falling down,

You really don’t care what I do,

As long as I keep running in circles around you.

I will do this as long as I live,

Never to be free from you.

So,

Tell me,

Why am I the one running circles?

Because this life doesn’t suit me,

And if I so chose it,

I could be as free as a bird.

But then I’d be flying in circles.
