Scattered
I find I think constantly with a busy mind
There's just so much to do in every day
My thoughts all scattered and unrefined
Worries and problems go round unasked
Keeping me awake at night in hot dismay
I find I think constantly with a busy mind
I'm falling behind with innumerable tasks
There has got to be a much better way
My thoughts all scattered and unrefined
I'll start a journal then in relief I can bask
All of my minds clutter can just fade away
I find I think constantly with a busy mind
Collating a glut of thoughts no easy ask
I should have started on this yesterday
My thoughts all scattered and unrefined
My veneer of calm may soon be unmasked
My melt down will be a spectacular display
I find I think constantly with a busy mind
My thoughts all scattered and unrefined
