ASDKFJAL;SJK!

Sometimes my mind gets really chattery and I just can't focus on anything.

I try to talk to people, I try to explain my thoughts, but it comes out as

ASDKFJAL;SJK!

No one seems to understand, they give me strange looks.

100000 blaring screens in my brain, screaming at me, begging for attention.

I'm only one person with two eyes and one brain, two legs and two rings on every finger!

ASDKFJAL;SJK!

Most of the time, I really just can't find the words.

Look at all these words I have, on my shelves, under the sink, on my bed.

I have them stacked in boxes, some are dusty,

Some are worn oooouut.

And even though I have all these words,

I can't find the right one.

I have this one right here, and OH, this one! This one's a good one.

But...

I need one to go in the middle,

Have you seen it? I can't... find it...

ASDKFJAL;SJK!

I have a lot of jars, too.

Big, small, tall, hahaha

The jars are all dusty.

A thin film of colorful light

lines the inside of each jar.

I don't know what they're for,

I can't open them.

Well, there was this one jar I opened

By accident. I dropped it.

It broke into precisely 800 little squares

and this grey, golden light filled the

Room.

It just swallowed up everything everywhere

and left nothing but everything

ASDKFJAL;SJK!
