Natural Anxiety


As I lay awake in bed,

Worry scampers through my head,

Back and forth she goes,

Singing a melody no one knows,

‘The day is yours to be lost,

Don’t you fret about the cost,’

 

As I walk outside the door,

Concern greets me like a whore,

Back and forth she goes,

Singing a melody no one knows,

‘The day is yours to be lost,

Don’t you fret about the cost,’

 

As I drive my car to work,

Anxiety starts to prowl and lurk,

Back and forth she goes,

Singing a melody no one knows,

‘The day is yours to be lost,

Don’t you fret about the cost,’

 

As I sit behind the counter,

Unease swirls round and rounder,

Back and forth she goes,

Singing a melody no one knows,

‘The day is yours to be lost,

Don’t you fret about the cost,’

 

Why my personality,

Is not more like a B,

Up and down I’ll go,

Singing a melody I only know,

‘The day is yours to be lost,

Don’t you fret about the cost.’
