Crywolf Disappearing Act

Fall into the insanity,
Of the screaming circus.
Think of a time
Of maybe when things were perfect...
Wrong!
There's no such thing there?
My name popping in fake fireworks,
Everyone is fully aware.
But I'm not...
Just trying to get away from these clowns,
I'm crying for help.
I'm like the elephant in the next act,
I could never forget the things I've felt.
I'm tired of wearing a mask,
Putting on a show.
Ready to rip my tent apart.
I'm done being "sick" and I'm ready to go.
They've tried to trick me,
In ways I can't resist.
Having me bend in ways I can't,
But I'm not a contortionist.
I want to leave this crazy place,
But I will not be like the others.
I won't give up on myself.
I could never do that to my mother.
That's it! I'm breaking out of this freak show,
And all I wanted was to make an impact.
So I'm starting over, showing my face,
Then doing my disappearing act.
