A massive weight shifts between my shoulders. It’s another fight, I am getting older. One more step, I grow bolder. See me out there, on that thin wire. Juggling my life at the same time trying to aspire. The pain didn’t set me back; it lit in me a fire. Your words sharp like a blade and my heart for hire. Elusive to the noise, I climb higher. I’m eviserating the catacombs of an empire. I am not trying to scale the ladder. I’m tearing it down to the mire. I am not dousing the flame, I am feeding the fire. If we are walk this way, we need to dress the correct attire. Clearly there is an internal fight, a struggle for power. I am not built to last, I eventually get tired. But the problems that disappeared just reappear taking on another form. I do my best to keep my balance and keep walking this thin wire. There is a silence in the noise of a mob I can feel my heart. The story has to end or at least on my part. Will I hit the net below to sweet depart? Or Shall I just keep juggling as I walk? It doesn’t matter if they think I am a fool; just as long as I do my part. Life is a circus, living it is an art. -RSC

Sleep brings relief and the hope of a new day.
