I can juggle
I started when i was 13
wake up
Decided to learn how to juggle

I asked my dad to buy me juggling balls
Dedicated months with little progress 
Self taught, no videos, no assistance
Juggle 3 balls aimlessly
 No idea how to do it right

I was able to juggle one day 
I was finally able to do it
Only for a few seconds
It's not much

I started to juggle longer
Started recording myself juggling
Compared how long i went
saw where i went wrong

I got into a meditative state 
juggled for hours
enjoyed the peace it brings 

I got juggling clubs
hesitant to learn
didn't like disrupting the peace
The peace it once brought was gone

I would drop the club
hear the bang
feel bad for it
Stopped juggling clubs
Got over it eventually
quickly learned how to do it

I decided that i had to juggle more
got juggling torches 
juggled them the same day
The beautiful flame
Swooshing through the air
Feel the warmth

I can do several juggling tricks 
I can juggle for as long as I want.
I use it to procrastinate 
I can't go a day without it
