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
