I try to make my thoughts complete

but often I go wrong

most of my thoughts are incomplete

not kept for very long

 

Oh how I strain to keep my thoughts

but my efforts are for naught

since every thought I get to keep

there's a hundred more forgot

 

I came across this random thought

the only one that I could find

it stayed around to remind me of

how scattered is my mind

 

Since all my thoughts are fleeting things

and don't linger long at all

through my own fault, it's just a thought

one of the few I can recall.
