Analysis of Slipping through the cracks in my mind
Slipping through the cracks in my mind. I find I can’t understand sometimes.
Even though I seem to look just fine. I’m forgetting, like my minds going blind.
Sparks of memory light up my sight. Looking through a glass but I forgot what type.
Confusion is right there, what was I gonna say? Can’t remember what I was gonna pray.
Slipping through the cracks in my mind. I find I can’t understand sometimes.
Start a sentence but then I forgot.
Can’t seem to remember my last thought?
Now I don’t say much as I fear I will forget the day, the month, the year.
Fading in an abyss my silent scream. Feeling half awake like I’m in a dream.
Slipping through the cracks in my mind. I find I can’t understand sometimes.
