Juggling Act

Shame, blame, love, longing in the air,
they mix play tricks on me it’s not fair;

Pulling my mind when it’s time to chill,
this juggling act is sometimes overkill;

Throwing faster than to a slow crawl 
just then here come’s another ball;

Broad balancing display showcases 
a new routine where moods trade places;

I’m spinning inside but still I stand 
sifting through words til I find my brand;

An enduring game of toss and catch,
old feelings leave behind a new batch.
