Dark Roast Circus

Running on dark roast, caffeine in my veins Trying to navigate these teenage growing pains Keelie crying 'cause her eyeliner's wrong Kimi’s at the horse barn singing a song I run to the backyard to feed my chickens My goose is on the porch and his attack plot thickens. But everyone's dramatic about him all the time! “I mean, he only bit the kids once or twice this week, is that such a crime?” Welcome to the circus, it’s a never-ending show Hormones are exploding everywhere that I go From the dusty horse arenas to the Saturday night lights We’re juggling riding boots and cheerleading nights I am juggling the chaos while my kitchen goes up in flames Yeah, I attempted dinner, but the smoke alarm is loud Just another burnt meal to make my family proud! Adelyn is the instigator starting a war, “Mom, I need a poster board!" Of course it's eleven PM Tomorrow is the field trip, the chaos is a gem Homework on the counter, saddles on the floor Glittery black and orange pom-poms piled by the door I’m trying to drink my dark roast to keep myself sane While my daughters start a war in the hallway domain They are fighting for a sweater, screaming down the hall The theatrical estrogen just bouncing off the walls. Welcome to the circus, it’s a never-ending show Hormones are exploding everywhere that I go From the dusty horse arenas to the Saturday night lights We’re juggling riding boots and cheerleading nights I tried to cook a dinner but the casserole is black Call in a pizza! There’s no turning back! I clock into work with a smile on my face Hiding all the madness of this damn place School events and horse shows, I’m taxiing the crew There is nothing that a mom with seven coffees can’t do! The smoke alarm is singing its favorite little song. The girls are still fighting over who is right or wrong. The goose is on the loose. The horses are fed. My sanity is depleting. I think it might be dead.
