My Brain
My brain is like a chessboard
Always thinking moves ahead
I’ll never want to be ignored
Even when I am dead
My brain can solve a rubik cube
And memorise a deck of cards
I’ve nothing left at all to loose
it’s written in the stars
Friends often came and went
But I really didn’t care
As I was never present
I simply wasn’t there
So I’m sorry for being a recluse
And being so very strange
I really know it’s no excuse
But I don’t know how to change
But I’ve got me decent puzzles
That keeps me entertained
To cope with these troubles
that’s my life…. explained

This is a fine poem, Robert. It hits home very hard. One of those poems that creeps up on you, as it were. Thanks for this.
