Disorientation - Never Heard of Jamais Vu, I Wouldn'T Though Would I

Jamais vu, do I live here I'm unfamiliar, is that my door I know so much about this place Or does it know me, is that my face The words I speak I ponder on Has the meaning upped and gone Have I intoned and made it strange Thought too deeply, out of range Spiral off, pirouette Bring me back, not ready yet Just momentary lapse in thinking No need to worry or blame the drinking It's just the opposite of deja vu Disorientation, go slow, mind blew

Knock, knock, someone at the door... I can feel the angst in your words.. life can be confusing sometimes, so its important to have someone there that can reassure us everything is ok.....

Luckily this was written more light-heartedly in response to a headline that sparked an idea. I was thinking more like when suddenly you say a word and it feels all weird for no reason... I do love a bit of reassurance though :)

Thanks Jo, I've not entered this one but I've liked the others I've seen and then a newspaper clickbait headline inspired me :)
