i've always been good at convincing people i mean what i say
without even being sure that what i say is what i mean
is that a talent or am i unknowingly a pathological liar
maybe all my life, i've wanted people to believe me
because if they did, it'd become affirmation
that, in fact, what i say is how i feel
it's hard being present when you're a mental drifter
your mind takes you places your body can't
