Distractions

Distracted by what you see

Distracted by what you feel

Distracted by the sounds you hear

Distracted by the disenchantment

Distracted by the overwhelming sense of loss

Distracted by the poisonous words

Distracted by the willingness of others to lie

Distracted into buying what you don’t need

Distracted by the taste in your mouth

Distracted by the night before

Distracted by the morning after

Distracted by the lack of control

Distracted by the lump in your throat

Distracted by the lump on your head

Distracted by the stains on your bed

Distracted by the facts

Distracted by the lack of motivation

Distracted by the black & white

Distracted by the shades of grey

Distracted by the thin red line
