Unglued

From a painter to a poet
now I'm inside a drug store
looking for a cure
for a mind gone quite obscure

If you look at me
dont frown dont laugh
dont look too deep and see the pain

I dont fit in here
at least, not too well
so have a heart and smile

But dont take me wrong
if I stand and stare
Im just observing
delighting in how you appear
appear to be fitting in
to the jigsaw of life

My mind does like to trap me
and snare me into strife
so I will think long and hard
way after the day has been

So take some time
to know we are not the same

Forgive my ways
if they seem strange to you
my life often comes unglued
