Need

Tonight I cried my heart away Accepting all the things I can not change Still left with heartache n pain Amongst n uneased brain Time is ticking The clock never stops As the hours go by I lay while my heart dies Lost in self pity Trying to dig out of a hole I never realized was not filled with cement A foundation with a sink hole The task seems uneasy The work displeasing equally a struggle Pulling up my pants tightening my buckle I've always been the Man as a woMan For once I've felt defeat As I realize the muscle Is not divided equally I never let him help I never let him see me struggle For now in distress my jester no longer juggles

Very expressive, Tiffany. That last line in particular ended things rather sweepingly! Remember that there's always something to grasp; illumination dare I say.
