Mixed Poem by Jared Bradford

I've never had such strong feelings
Strong feelings, but mixed
Maybe it's a sign to think
Maybe it's my mind playing tricks

A lot of people saying
'My heads in a cloud'
But all I can manage is
'I'm stuck on the ground'

How'd they get so high?
What got them into the sky?
Doesn't even seem like they tried
But I try too hard to get by

I'm most positively sure
My thoughts are just blurred
Thus causing my words to be slurred
The whole situations absurd

Kind of like having a few mixed drinks
Then staggering around downtown
Not really knowing where you're going
Yet you keep on walking around

I'm definitely confident
My struggles are mental
It's all in my head now and then
I think about it over and over again

My signals are mixed
From what I receive, to sent
What I'm told doesn't make sense
So when I tell, there no knowing what I meant

Every second of everyday passing
Is another breathe I'm gasping
Breathing is a quality
Don't take it as a quantity

But everything gets better with time
And time is forever
So every second of everyday
I just keep getting better
