Oblivious

I'm a platinum blond in a brunette disguise
With hazel eyes
but I guess the highlights emphasize
my stereotype

I'm blind to the obvious
oblivious to subtext and hints
notations maybe required
because even bluntly
I still can't read
your words

I don't understand
I know I'm kinda stupid
oh hell
I am

I can be creative
and I can be deep
but so can anyone else
I guess I'm just
better at showing than most
or maybe I'm one of the few
that wants to

I know I'm not the brightest
I know I fumble a lot
and my brain is always
dreaming and aloft

but my heart is in the right place
and my instincts try their best
to cover all the bases
that my mind has left
empty

because
I'm always gone
and even when consciousness surrounds me
I still get quite lost
and when nothing feels tied down
it's easy to fly off

I'm sorry
everyone

I know my inattentive mind can hurt you sometimes
and I never want to make anyone cry
though for some it's on the inside
even if it's a small cut
to a gaping gash

My loose grasp
of what you imply
gets lost when
it enters my mind

I can read emotions
and I can help you cope

but when it comes to specifics
I'm just one lost dope
