Circus of Alone
The windows, the floor
 I'm blocked in
 The walls to the door
 I'm losing pieces of me
 Locked away, hidden in repair
 Tell me, how original
 You and your matching friends are
 One by one you trapeze by
 A contrast to the others
 In all but numbers
 Be frank my dear
 And fess it aloud
 You're nothing but a clone
 Claiming no individual zone
 Share and share alike yes?
 With less of me to be seen
 The room almost wiped clean
 No evidence of the struggle
 Of simply living or
 Cardboard cut-out friends
 Cold inside, shivering blood
 With burning skin
 Can't take anything out of this
 Except I won't be missed
