cloudy mind

there is something above my head

but i can't quite figure it out.

a sheet? a blanket? a curtain?

whatever it is, it's making me freak out.


all day long, my mind escapes

i can't keep a thought 

here one second, gone the next

i truly am distraught!


i'm forgetting something

but i can't remember what

what's the point of reminders

when my mind seems closed shut?


think, think, what could it be?

oh, yeah! i need food

but there was something else--

something i need to do


maybe this snack will help--

that's it! i needed a second

to gather all my thoughts

and leave this barren island


slowly, i realize what was there

what was covering my mind

it was just a gray cloud of confusion

that i thankfully now leave behind


my mind has been cloudy these past couple of days. can't keep my thoughts in order and having trouble remembering things. yikes. but i think it's slowly passing over my head now-- hopefully
