Drifting Off
How many times do you find yourself drifting off
like you're here but not here
you are definitely somewhere else in your mind
but where are you
and why do you go there
and what do you accomplish
and why does that happen
what can we learn from that
why do we drift off
is the present moment not enough to capture our attention
is it too boring
or overwhelming
or disappointing
or too much to comprehend
and why when you are in the middle of a sentence
do you stop dead in your tracks
and forget where you were going with that thought
were you interrupted in someway
that confused what you wanted to say
so much going on
too many questions
not enough answers
i like this poem, i think it's better than the absence one...this one has a little more structure compare to the other one...i too sometimes wonder that, intresting questions
These are really good questions that I don't really have the answers to but I can tell you this: you are not the only one who is like this, everyone is. I used to worry about myself cause this happens to me but then slowly I started to realize that everyone does this so don't worry there is nothing wrong with your mind, you have much company. Well done.
great write Pam!
