Is Your Life A Circus? What do you do when your life has become a circus act? Trying to get organized with all your guilt bags packed. When balancing your schedule your like a ring leader. When your ready tp drop your chaotic job and become a Walmart greeter. When dealing with tax collectors you feel like a Lion tamer. Your life feels like it's becoming lamer and lamer. When you realize in this circus you are the star. Secretly wishing you could escape to somewhere afar. Your life is somehow the main attraction. If you don't juggle everything right you could end up in traction. Your sick and tired of your life being the main act. Wishing it was based more on fiction and less on fact. Your tired of being the main event. Wishing you could bury your problems deep in cement. It feels like your on the highwire act and ready to fall. Won't someone rescue you hearing your frantic call? Even Calgon didn't rescue you from your scary place. While you cried out and were hiding your face. Feeling left out in the cold and kicked to the curb. You finally go back to bed with a sign on the door Saying, "DO NOT DISTURB".

I see our lives as a circus story
we balance, we stress, we live on worry
we don't notice much what others do

Is Your Life A Circus? What do you do when your life has become a circus act? Trying to get organized with all your guilt

" We're going to the circus!" said my
weary worn mother as she lay back
on the big overstuffed sofa taking up
way too much
by Moeze Lalji
The circus
Speaks in
Razzmatazz
Animals
Listening to humans
Jumping in
Friendship and love
The fairy story
Of children
All alive
In
Sweetheart Circus
A whizzled delirium of time
One turn on a carrousel
Too fast, so fun.
A dream world with surreal sounds.
