Fenced in,
sore shoulders and the headache from hell.
Baited like a bear at the circus,
jolted and twisted,
awoken long before the day was truly born.
She must perform.
She must perform.
She must perform.
My throat is wrecked,
a home for razors.
Broken body,
but on I go,
under the spotlight,
obligated and ordered.
Perform.
Perform.
Perform.
