Hoops of Flame

Jumping through the hoops,
what is my name?

Why do I hoist my energy into
the air, performing
for an invisible audience?

What do I do when the audience
is of my own making?

These are the hoops of false flame,
blame,
escaping the truth.

Erasing the truth.

Embracing the need to be free,
no longer dancing
the music of expectation.
