Lack of Dopamine

Sometimes I forget my age until I look in the mirror
Am I my mother today or my father

       I have my father’s mouth but speak my mother’s
       words
       When did I start complaining so much

Do I annoy my friends by complaining so much
Can I blame my lack of dopamine for my ADHD and my temperament

       I blame my lack of dopamine for my melancholy
       What is joy anyway, I can barely remember

I can barely remember why I walked into the kitchen  
It is so easy to forget that I am an adult

       Can I forget that I am an adult and be a kid for the
       day
       Can I dance in the kitchen as the coffee brews

My brain dances as the coffee brews
Sometimes I forget my age until I look in the mirror
