Barrel Down, Beaming Clown

Free.

Free
At last.

But freedom's not.

Freedom
Has a price:

A headache
And a frown;
A jester
And a clown;
And my eyes
Looking down
This barrel
Of renown.

They laugh,
They scoff;
I try,
I deny.

But the longer
I fret,
The stronger
They get.

Mockers:
Will they kill me?
Monsters:
Will they let me be?

Lord, I wish
It was ever that easy.
