Mind

Notes, Pictures
Books, Papers
Unorganized Chaos.
Essential, and
Useless articles.
A mess.
My mind, a mess.
Memories, Teachings
All swirl in my mind
Can't form clear thoughts.
Just as this mess on my desk has no organization
My train of thought follows no real track.
It has been long forgotten
My mind now wonders aimlessly
Among the stacks of memories
And teachings and such
Bringing up silly useless facts.

Author notes

My train of thought is very odd. I perceive things a bit differently than most do. My mind is so mixed up, I don't process my thoughts normally at all. Teach me something, I promise I will learn it my way THEN learn it your way. But it takes me forever to actually relate the two methods. Which means... Until I figure out how to relate my learning method to your teaching method, I am completely lost if you want to build on your original teaching. I can't explain to you how I know to do it my own way, but I can do it. I can tell you how you told me to do it, but I have a hard time doing it as you explained it. I can do something the "wrong way" and come up with the right answer, but I can't explain how I got the answer, how I knew to do what I did, or how my mind interprets it. My music theory teacher (who's Ph.D is in Music Psychology) is very interested in how I understand things... I went to him for help last week and he was confused because I knew what to do but couldn't explain how I did it. He said something about talking about it forces my brain to know what it's doing...

But enough about that...

And, if you couldn't tell, I saw a mess. My desk is a mess. And my mind organizes things much like I do. I know where everything is, it just is quite messy when someone else tries to find it for me.
