This Mind of Mine
Birds can't talk, and people can't fly
But isn't that silly? My mind is playing games
It gives me something to do, to keep me sane
Confusion usually rules my day
Making mistakes, with things that I say
My memory is always playing tricks on me
And my eyes sometimes block out, things that I see
If my job depended on things that I hear
I would have been gone, early last year
I hope if you read this you can understand
That sometimes I have trouble with life's demands
At those times, running away is such an attraction
I try to get away by a self made distraction
Sometimes it works, if I give it enough time
But, I sure do get frustrated with this mind of mine!
