have you got a mental illness
did you once get hit in head
do you wake up all depressed
wishing that you were dead
it seems you have a lot of issues
and none of them are on the mend
what made you rope me from the pack
and show me just the beginning of the end?
actions account for a major part
not what you say or what you do
they say that opposites attract
but i’m a nut job just like you
there's something that i've done
or it’s something that i do
that draws and attracts the mental
just like me just like you
it’s just a neurological distraction
that brings you here again to me today
with all your demons darkening my door
when i just wish you’d go away!

Do you ever get sidetracked when writing? I do. I think it must be in the nature of the creative mind to draw connections and have a need to explore them. Since the World Wide Web became established in the 1990s, this has become a lot easier to do. The phenomenon being described as ‘going down a wormhole.’ Sometimes a distraction, but I have written some of my best work when I have disappeared down one web wormhole or another. It also happened in the days when most of my research was book based so we can't blame it on the internet. Book research was just slower. These days, guided by my AI friend, it is much, much quicker.
