MY MIND'S BEEN DRIFTING

My mind's been drifting
I'm not sure what to write
Here lately I've been focusing

On spooky things at night

My mind's been drifting
I don't care of other's opinion
I could write about nature
I could write about religion

My mind's been drifting
Most of it has all been good
I could write about the past
More on my childhood

My mind's been drifting
I guess I'm in my own space
Not sure if I'm bringing anything
Or a smile to someone's face

My mind's been drifting
Will it go explore the universe?
There's an audience here I suppose
That will understand every verse

My mind's been drifting
Did they like the other ones I wrote?

Not sure, they remained quiet
I guess I'm the one who choked

My mind's been drifting
I know you can't please everybody

You may not like what I write
But I'm sorry, you're stuck with me!
