A Ten Ton Disorder

Fear, a tear, shock inside, I guess it's all the same,
To find someone behind me has been calling out my name.
Mixed, not fixed, my mindless journey, 
Sadly awakened and too often murky. 
I could, I would, if I were able,
Contribute to the conversation at the table.
If my mind could find the subject matter,
But those ideas are all a scatter.
I tried but lied and said I heard you,
A simple question proves that it's not true.
How can I get by with focus amiss,
Life, at times difficult, thinking like this.
I'm cursed, I guess, with this on and off switch,
Sometimes a blessing, more often a glitch.
Living and giving from out of the box,
 a bright imagination is the pure paradox.
In the end, I will send you one last fleeting conclusion,
There are few rewards with this kind of confusion.
