What\'s in your head?

By Chad Carlson 


I get this question a lot
I\'m a dyslexic introvert with Asperger\'s
More clutter than not
My mind has so many things
It\'s hard to sort it out
I start on one subject
But it\'s always roundabout
Fifteen subjects later
I remember how to end the first thought
Most people have already walked away
Their patience completely shot
My tone is loud and direct
Most people call me an asshole
I mean no disrespect
It\'s hard to correct something when you don\'t know what you\'re doing
My wife calls me dense and stupid sometimes
Leaves my confidence utterly ruined
If there was a way to declutter
I\'d do it without a second thought
But then I wouldn\'t know anything
And my creativity would just stop
