confusion, dream, how i feel, memory, nostalgia,
MY MIND IS ADDLED
My senior mind is game to rhyme
And to find those lost thoughts of mine
It tries to give a recount to all times forgot
My mind sparks faint all incoming thought
They are misread from all forethought templates
And experiences up to this point fails to find its mate
I try so hard to regain how I first thought as a child
And how I could dream then and make that thought wild
I had many trials and tribulations that were waylaid
If not learnt early enough they were tirelessly displayed
My thought reruns are taken from down a too long memory lane
And my mind thinks on too far back to awake my tiered brain
But unlike today when my mind is clear and comes awake
To speak again to those in ear shot for old time sake!
My old tongue gets tied
My old mind addled
When led to rethink
