The mechanism of my brain

How do you sleep and so easily settle your mind? Isn't there a traffic of noise that's loudly whirring inside? How do you remember all those important tasks? I wonder how it feels to complete what's asked. How do you calmly listen and not talk too fast? How does it feel to have friendships that last? How can you plan and think of tomorrow? Will it not overwhelm that time now, or will soon be your past? How does a person show such vast integrity To be your true self without wearing a mask. How do you clean but keep it that way? If a person should visit on your messiest day? Do you not worry about what they think or might say? The workings of an exhausted ADD brain.

Clever, we all have days where our brain stars a whirling and breaks start squeaking. Like this one. Feelings explained but not in way of a moan. not easy poem to get right but you did it. Nice flow and the interspersing of questions to give reader pause for thought. Enough for reader to hang on every word /phrase. Great piece. Best regards David in NZ

Thank you! my intention was it be writeten in a way of curiosity rather than, like you greatly pointed out as having a moan or complaining.. for you to recognise and understand that means a lot . All the best x
