Fixing a Hole

It’s like magic when this happens. (And it doesn’t happen often.)

I’m sitting in the little-used den. I’m cuddled up under the quilt my mom made for me. I’m sobbing with overwhelm.

Then I think about what it would take to feel “back in order.” (Or at least “on the mend.”)

A-ha! Mental health break it is.

So, I’m off. I’m fixing a hole. It’s an important one. Sorry ’bout all the cancelling I’m doing to fix this. Not optional. See y’all on the other side (in a week or so).

I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in
and stops my mind from wandering
where it will go
I’m filling the cracks that ran though the door
and kept my mind from wandering
where it will go

And it really doesn’t matter if I’m wrong
I’m right where I belong
I’m right where I belong
See the people standing there
who disagree and never win
and wonder why they don’t get in my door

I’m painting my room in a colorful way,
and when my mind is wandering
there I will go

And it really doesn’t matter if I’m wrong
I’m right where I belong
I’m right where I belong
Silly people run around
they worry me and never ask me
why they don’t get past my door

I’m taking my time for a number of things
that weren’t important yesterday
and I still go

I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in
and stops my mind from wandering
where it will go
where it will go
I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in
and stops my mind from wandering
where it will go
