why do I feel like a sea lion in captivity
trained to move in unnatural ways
for food that I could've found myself in the sea
for crowds that cheer and scream and frighten me
why do we let life tear us apart
bind us in the shackles of the show
always performing, never left alone
kept in the dark
when the lights are off
where do the sea lions go when the crowds stop coming
where do I go when you leave
