Analysis of Circles

Jasmine Dailey 2000 (virginia)



Round and Round I go
My mind is fractured
My body is deformed
My heart is lost

Round and Round I go
Trying to figure out me
Trying to see the future
Trying to believe in something

Round and Round I go
The world is against me
The world eclipses people like me
The world drowns me

Round and Round I go
Till I end up in the ground, 6ft deep
With a frown permanently etched on my face
A color called black that looks more brown than white

Round and Round I go
