inattentive
You forgot what you were thinking
And now you're thinking about how you've forgotten
There is a void being filled by your panic
Because what if what you were thinking was important?
Shit -
You just mixed up your friend's interests
And you forgot who you already told about your weekend
It’ll be fine as long as nobody takes notice
You lost your favorite pen again, your favorite hoodie, an important letter
You can't even retrace your steps since there are so many gaps in your memory
There are so many new thoughts coming in that are
Pushing out all the ones you were having
You are terrified of the future, your extreme emotions,
And the weird thoughts that intrude your brain at any given moment
You say, "the other day,” but that's not when that took place
There is proof that you're lazy, that you must be acting out of spite
So you close your eyes and internalize
Your willpower sucks,
Your listening is trash
Well, mine is too
I do almost all the same things as you
Our mannerisms are eerily akin and so random
Maybe it would be better if it were more predictable
I have a diagnosis, and you would think it would help with that,
But no
(“You’re so quirky!”) (“What are you on?”)
Just stop talking
I don’t know how to think my way out of feeling this time
I know everything that I need to but that isn’t helping
My executives keep on dysfunctioning
