Girl on A Ball Competition
There’s circus in her blood
He showed it to her on a map
A funny map of lines that
Looked the branches
Boxes
That could have been flowers
Filled with names
All the names
That went before her
On the tightrope
With the lions
Or maybe it was tigers
But she wanted to forge her own path
Daddy please look at me
Look what I can do
I can be
The girl on the ball
He showed it to her on a map
A funny map of lines that
Looked the branches
Boxes
That could have been flowers
Filled with names
All the names
That went before her
On the tightrope
With the lions
Or maybe it was tigers
But she wanted to forge her own path
Daddy please look at me
Look what I can do
I can be
The girl on the ball

Author's Note
This was inspired by the Picasso painting for the challenge but also the truth that there is circus in my genes.
