No Idea What to Call This One

I'd Call this 'ABBA Rhyme, Take One', but then everyone would be expecting a poem about Mama Mia and the Dancing Queen, and I would fall tragically short of their expectations. It is my first experience writing in this type of rhyme scheme, so hopefully a fast improvement is imminent.

---------------------

There's something that I want to say.
I can't recall, or just don't know,
just how I want the words to go.
I've tried to think of it all day.

There's something that I want to do,
yet can't remember how to choose
which games to win and which to lose,
or when to break the board in two.

There's something that I want to learn,
but I get in the way of that.
When inspiration asks to chat,
its every small advance I spurn.

There's someone who I want to greet,
but alterations must take place
before I'm fit to show my face.
Too much to edit and delete.

There's someone who I want to be.
He's left me here, and gone his way.
Though granted, if he were to stay,
he wouldn't get along with me.

Man, I'm getting almost as annoyingly indecipherable as Coldplay's lyrics.
