i am scatterbrained
unable to focus
on anything except
whatever it is that
i cannot quite recall
pacing back and forth
knowing there is something
but my mind is blank

having an allergic
reaction to thinking
my mind trembles as i
retrace my mental steps
only to find myself back
at the beginning again
knowing there is something
but what is remains
fully elusive for now

whatever it is will surely
bite me in the ass
directly after i get to
the point of too late
then the stress of failure
will override this haze
of misty anxieties to be
born anew as an ulcer
bleeding into every thought
