All over but here

These words won't stick in my head
My mind is racing with people and things
I got every thought except the ones I need 
and why does my ring finger sting?

Focus , focus I try
a sound here, a word there 
My brain cells are fry 
I need some air

I've gone down this road so many times
have I accepted failure in advance?
or is my brain no longer at its prime?
Am I even making the most of this chance?

Theres sirens and lights outside
Is it too early for lunch?
I want a hamburger with fries on the side
will it be too loud to munch?

I need to focus -I need this to stick 
I stare, the teacher's mouth moves
As she chooses who to pick
I sink in my seat, I know she disapproves

but what to do?
How to focus in this room?
Succeed in what I choose to pursue 
"Shush" the ECG video will now resume
