2 attractions, 1 infraction

The wheel spins,
Screeching to a halt.

I open my ears.
Bolts rattling.
Yet in front,
the human form.

In discretion they say,
so much, with so little.

She was the attraction,
whilst being anointed a saint.
How could she?
She's scared,

Avoiding human interaction
No tactile infraction,
The attraction is a lie,
with the name of the attraction,
she'll die.

I hop on the Ferris wheel,
to spin around,
messing with my mind.

I took tourist attraction in 2 ways, but how I thought of it, idk
I know that rhyme, rhythm, and meter are not academically standardized.
I am well aware of that, yet I primarily do free verse, and it's based on instinctual writing.
I try to avoid academic language or structure. My poems are not meant to convey a single answer.
I try to convey the unknown through minimalism, mostly dense short stanzas with many line breaks.
If you'd give a critique, please keep this in mind.
