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.
