#juggling
I juggle books like the clown I am; A chapter of this, a passage of that, The words touch my eyes but refuse to go deeper, Recoiling at my brain. I juggle hobbies like the clown I am; games new to me already old hat, A stack of projects that project failure Again and again. I juggle my life like the clown that I am: Work, sleep, eat, no time to chat My relationships and communication skills Continue to wane. My life is a circus, in that which I am A clown of no merit whose mind acrobat Has missed the trapeze entirely. It's already slain.

Circus
Trying to juggle at 1am, Trying to catch those god **** ***** Trying to throw them the"right way", Trying to do everything everyone tells me,   Everything that I can't do. Thoughts swirling in my brain, Fogging my concentration. Self-doubt arising, wondering why no one has called me a failure yet. Questions screamed to the universe. All this fuss, Just for three juggling ***** Three juggling ***** which I can't juggle, Three juggling ***** leading to my accusation of a failure, Three juggling ***** questioning my capacity. All this for three juggling *****

Juggling @ 1am
struggles occur, often I'll juggle many in attempt to avoid them and pretend I'm empty; nothing can hurt me! but eventually I mess up and break the tossing. One struggle breaks right after the other, and in the end I usually feel much better.
