I can do anything that I set my mind to
the problem is my mind is hard to set
I think about things all the time
school, friends, future, girls, and problems
some of the things cross over categories
school problems future / girls friends problems / friends girls school?
these things clutter my mind
they doesn't make sense
I find my brain can focus not
it skips like a stone
on a choppy
lake
that is wide and
windswept
each hop a different issue
                                                           ­                       
    what am I doing tonight?                                                         ­             
                    Does she like me too?
                                                            ­                   Did I do my English Homework?
as I said my mind is hard to set
just as you likely forgot the first line shortly after you read it
I forget the things that I just thought
Good ideas come and go on waves
those waves on which my random brainstones hop
when I skip them on the wide lake of my thought
I could do anything I put my mind to
If I could put my mind to anything I do
