Wake up
Today’s the day
Gonna fix it all, gonna be okay
Feet touch the floor, and I start to pray
Lord, I can do this if you make my mind stay
Focused
Gotta get things done
Not a lot of hours till the fall of the sun
Got a list to do, and it don’t look fun
Better take a breath, get a grip, step one
Uh oh
An hour passed
Guess my focus didn’t really last
Ever get haunted by the things in the past
Capture the brain in a curious cast
Haunted
Imagination
Mind’s in need of a thought vacation
Try to make plans, but my preparation
Quickly dissolves into raw frustration
Stupid
Is how I feel
I am an adult, but I cannot deal
Got a lot of wounds that I just can’t heal
Is this my life? Because it don’t seem real
Broken
But I still try
Keep on digging till I unearth why
Every repetition, watch my follow-through die
A thousand good intentions pave the pathway I
Wander
Attention lost
Too many brainwaves just got crossed
Mind sits defenseless as my thoughts accost
Overload the senses till my head exhausts
Hopeless
Or so it seems
I am the killer of my greatest dreams
Every interaction falling to extremes
Try to find quiet, but the silence screams
Surrender
Or go insane
Lack of any cut, but I still feel pain
Pray that today I control my brain
Think I’m getting closer, but I can’t maintain
Weary
Inside my head
Day is done; time to go to bed
Had a lot of plans but the chances bled
Wanted to accomplish but I guess instead
Floated
Space cadet
Hard to keep track of all I forget
Working all day only earned regret
Caught my attention, but it slipped the net
Vanity
Chaff in the wind
Put on a smile as I pretend
All of my means could result in an end
Said I could do it, I will not rescind
Important
To shift my view
Can’t get caught in what is not true
Might lose sight, but I keep value
I am so much more than what I fail to do
Distracted
That’s just a part
My whole life is a work of art
More than a label that is just a start
Want to know me? Gotta learn my heart
