Mr. Showman

you’re mr. showman;
please the crowd,
make them cheer
at the spotlight you forced on me
but I refuse to be your puppet

i took your hand
for you saw the real me
yet if you did see me
why is real me trapped
in your tornado of
uncomfortable fondness

oh mr. showman
did I hurt your ego?
I refuse to be your puppet
I refuse to be your puppet
