Just a draft version of work in progress:

I’m an old souvenir
I’m a clown that went mad
And my porcelain leer
Is both puzzled and sad

I'm caught the spokes
Of a broken-down ride
On a stuck Ferris Wheel
Now forgotten by time 

And there’s rust on the tracks
With the grift wearing thin
And a strange funhouse mirror
That warps what’s within 

I can crack the veneer
Or just stay in the lines
I can break through in tears
Or stay lost in my mind
Lost in my jangled mind

Vines creep through the cracks
In the empty arcade
And they tangle the hopes
That were dashed or delayed

And the tokens are
Gathering dust on the ground
Once used for some thrills 
On life’s merry go round
