My mind plays tricks on me.
I’m trying to sleep,
But my thoughts are too deep.
My mind takes me to a place,
where I need to contemplate.
My thoughts race.
slow down my mind needs to recuperate.
My mind plays tricks on me.
I forget what I say,
I forget what I do.
Sometimes I have to think about what’s my next move.
Jokes on you!
My mind is stronger than an ox.
Give me a pen and paper
I’ll show you what I got!
My mind is on the run.
My thoughts coming off like a shot gun!
Sometimes I hesitate.
Sometimes I can’t remember what I want to say.
These are my struggles.
My mind plays tricks on me.
