I wrap myself in a warm blanket,
And curl up my toes.
I take a sip of my coffee
And tell my worries to go.
I wish that they were obedient,
They always say no.
So I put them in a corner
And ignore them while they make a mess.
About what's to happen next
You have already guessed.
Well my mom walks in
And yells at me for the mess that I ignored
She tells me to clean it up
Before she walks out of the door.
I try to explain it's not that simple,
For the mess has got powers
And it doesn't want to go.
So I take another sip of my coffee,
I bet you had forgot about that.
My room represents my scattered mind
And mess is all over the place.
Crawling, growling, dancing, shouting,
Jumping all over the place.
What was I talking about?
I seem to have lost track.
Trust me when I say this,
I m really not on crack.
Children, please don't do drugs,
For it is really bad.
You can act high when you are sober,
You don't need to spend money for that.
I m still wrapped in my blanket,
Thinking about a flying mat.
I m not the first one to think of it,
Someone always beats me to that.
You are probably wondering,
Where m I going with this?
What if I don't want to go anywhere
And just stay here like this?
