My Live in 35 Lines

Here we go again

By Robert KegelPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Oh shit, my brain is going a million miles an hour

I have to many ideas floating in my head

Should I put these two stories together?

I’m writing to many things at one time.

My brain spins 24/7

Thinking of this and that

I don’t feel hyper or manic

Just mellow and my brain won’t shut up

When I get in the zone I can write for hours

Ideas flowing through my mind like a stream

I wish there were more of me so I can put my ideas together faster

But I’m only me so, I have to do what I can

I get distracted by sudden sounds

My cat walked on my keyboard again

Then she sat on it making random letters and number appear on the screen

I wanna play, I wanna play she’s telling me

But I have to write

I wanted to lookup something on YouTube

Oh shit down another rabbit hole

So many things I have to do

But anxiety kicks in

I forgot the word I wanted to say?

Where did I put my phone?

Why did I come into the kitchen?

More to talk to my shrink about

Back to the story

I have to write

Good I’m going out with friends

They’ll calm my mind a bit

Drinking, eating laughing, a random though about a story

Listening to live music, having fun

I go home and sleep

And the week starts all over again

I need a vacation
