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.
