Unexplainable Actions

Never in my life one to panic in my life
Just right away did what needed to be done..
At times a differen it was story looking back
After with a little time to stop and think some..

Always quick to act in emergencies that often be
Always the same in a fight never made mistakes..
Fast in reflex always have been right through life
Gave it my all of what all it at those times takes..

But later rolling a smoke and thinking of back then
Asking myself there must have been a better way..
However when one has whats called presence of mind
It's as if someone else was doing it on that very day..

I swam once eight miles to shore arrived miles below
Laying on the beach in the middle of the darkest night..
Came morning others looking thought I'd been drunk
Had no strength left to explain the day before of plight..

But during these times one developes a determination
And simply does what one has at that time to do..
It's after one stops long enough to think at all of it
How in the name of hell one at all made it through..

It's a thing I feel most often called presence of mind
Things that happened I'm yet to even try to ever explain..
But always I'd done what was needed to be done and won
And during it all not ever feeling a single ping of pain..
