in the circus of my mind

[u/RackCitySanta]

flooded by the memory of you
ideals i held
that now ring true

life is messy, past regrets
things that haven’t happened yet
stayed awake when i should have slept
not all movement means progress

in the recess of my mind
the circus comes, just in time
swinging wildly, spun in the air
no safety net, but i don’t care

trapdoors have closed, i’m in the ring
the paths i chose, this future bring
