For Caitlin

I can never focus,
so many things on my brain.
I try to sit and watch a movie.
But all I do is stare at the screen.

My eyes wander all around the room,
I think about the things going on in my life.
I catch a glimpse of the movie.

I look over at the fish tank.
My mind wanders to when I was 8,
and I tried to save a fish from the state fair.

Back to the movie.
I can't focus.

I hear a noise outside,
my eyes search for the source.
A fat squirrel glares at me from a tree.
He must be having a bad day as well.

One last time, I look at the screen,
The movie is half way over,
all I've gotten from it is that there are two characters,
their probably in love, its probably a happy movie.

I turn it off, because I can't stand happy movies.
Not today, not this week,
maybe i'll feel better later.

Yeah, later..
