THE CIRCUS IN ME

Yes, my life is a circus
A product of illusion
I heal souls lost in time
While taming the beast within me.

I am the juggler
Skillfully bouncing others' griefs
I am the stunning acrobat
Bending and twisting through my struggles.

With a sleight of hand
I create wonder from my woes
Have them flicker away
By simply ignoring them.

Yes, my life is a circus
I am the roller coaster
Spinning my troubles
Into an invisible bin.

When night falls
And I finally look up
At the empty stands
I realize my life is but a joke.
