Jinxed Myself

i won't say it out loud.
if you knew, you could understand.
it's hard to act human 
with a head full of sand
and spiders with cobwebs
catching every thought
before it lands.
 
i get confused between
what's real and imagined.
i'm excitable. sometimes sad
at the birth of an idea, a fantasy,
upon the realization
it may be just that.
and i've jinxed myself 
by creating a moment
before time has allowed.
 
if memory serves correctly,
i'll remember your face
fading into the crowd.
