Coffee gone cold on the desk
Fourth tab open
What was next?
Phone in the fridge
Keys in the sink
Half-done lists
Half a thought
Can't think
Heartbeat running like a subway train
Everyone talking in my brain
I swear I'm trying
I swear I care
I just get lost on the way there
My mind's got Velcro
Everything sticks
Every little sound
Every little glitch
Racing like I'm late
Stuck in one place
Living with a fast heart
Sideways pace
My mind's got Velcro
Nothing lets go
I feel too much
I move too slow
This is how I'm wired
How I'm made
Messy and bright
A wildfire brain
Blurting out thoughts mid-sentence
Cut you off
Then I feel defenseless
Always "one more thing
" always almost done
Chasing twenty rabbits
Never catch one
Time slips through my open hands
Tiny storms in simple plans
I go from laughing to seeing red
Whole mood flips in a single breath
My mind's got Velcro
Everything sticks
Every little sound
Every little glitch
Racing like I'm late
Stuck in one place
Living with a fast heart
Sideways pace
My mind's got Velcro
Nothing lets go
I feel too much
I move too slow
This is how I'm wired
How I'm made
Messy and bright
A wildfire brain
I'm not lazy
I'm not broken
I'm a storm you can't see open
Teach me how to walk this wire
I'll bring the spark
You bring the choir
Count it down
Break it small
Catch me when I start to fall
I'm still trying every day
To love this loud and tangled brain
My mind's got Velcro
Everything sticks
Every little sound
Every little glitch
Racing like I'm late
Stuck in one place
Living with a fast heart
Sideways pace
My mind's got Velcro
Nothing lets go
I feel too much
I move too slow
This is how I'm wired
How I'm made
Messy and bright
A wildfire brain
Velcro brain.
