Circus berserkus

The circus is in town, what do you see?
As I look out at you, and you look in at me
Do you see me as a large, roaring captive toy,
Or do you look into my eyes, just know pain, no joy.
Do you giggle and point as you mill around my cage,
In my terror annoint as I seethe in rage.
Do you not understand that my roar is a shout:

Open up the door and let me out!!!
