Perplexed

Oh these things I’ve said

Things I’ve done

Chasing something down 

Step by step 

Slow as a leech 

Barely out of touch

I don’t know what

Maybe something I will never reach

Jumping over wrecks 

My mind can’t keep up 

I still feel so perplexed 

Words seemingly escape 

Trying to find a way to say this

It’s just a jumbled mess

I think I’ve been hexed 

Rummaging through the brain

I find a reason 

Because I know something is hidden

Behind all that suspense.
