Messy Notes


I think you can tell what a person is like by their notes.

I realized this when I looked at the notes of the girl next to me,

They were all organized and color-coded, so I looked back at mine,

It had messy handwriting strewn about like it was trying to be organized but couldn’t be,

So I looked to the notes of the boy behind me,

There was barely any writing, with only the key points written down,

So I looked back at mine, with the messy handwriting that was trying to be organized but couldn’t be,

And it felt like an extension of my being, who is messy and trying to be organized but can’t.

My Mind doesn't work in tune with my body and I can feel it,

But there is nothing I can do because its a problem in my brain,

So for now it will just have to be exhausting to exist.
