Drift

Doctors used to talk of me when I was in the room Speaking of psychology and all the things we do Explained complex minds and acts done as my parents gave their view As I gained for this talk attraction attentive levels grew Psychology, sport my only focus Sport came natural, fit the bill academically short generally hopeless concentration not my skill But it was out on the field success and progress noticed classroom would see it yield without anchor I floated Many subjects taught in school Cause my concentration cease When eyes wandered up the walls then daydreams were released examined me for many years when I was just a child explore my mind for what appears intent on adjusting style Acknowledging a certain difference left handed in a right handed species And as it set in through experience understanding man as Lego pieces People combine and bonds lock in the structure which supports mankind and I’m the odd brick damaged broken the structure ignores and leaves behind But I am still a living creature outcast far from desire looking at a filled in picture from my place out in the wild I was the alterna-kid the loosely broken Lego brick the one stood up when all else sit My hopeless life set me a drift
