Focus
Fast forward,stop, eject,rewind,stop,repeat
thoughts bouncing,leaping,racing for my attention
they cry out to me saying, me first,no me,me pick me
I shake my head to clear them, they hold fast
Crashing,stomping,wearing my brain into mush
Fast forward lights on, lights off, sound,silence,voices,nothing
I sit here and wait and pray i do not burst
The binds that hold my brain steady burst open
A cacophony of sound spills from my lips
Stop,rewind,take it back,i can't,you will, make me,ok
Fast forward, the crash, the fall, running, stinging, sad
Watching the clock until 2:25pm
Finally the day is over
Relax, sigh, thank you,its over, life, love, happy, free
In life there is no instant replay
Things get said that cant be taken back
People die and cant come back
In life there is no cut and action
No second chance to do things right
So do it right as you can
In life there is no pause
