Bitter Taste

Twisting and turning
In a brain that keeps burning
Thinking about everything
I wish I were learning

But I'm not and I wither
Was always the giver
Now I'm alone and afloat
Upon the swift river

Cast out into oceans
Too many things now in motion
I asked for time and attention
All I got was commotion

My oars have been lost
My safety net tossed
So I drink the salt water
Knowing what it will cost
