[ I Have Been So Anxious All Of My Life & I
     Don’t Ever ]
[ Get Any Better ]

[ & Slowly Go Back To The Norm ]
[ But What Does That Look Or Feel Like? ]
[ Is It Always The Calmest Before The Storm? ]

[ Maybe I Will Never Get There ]
[ Maybe I Don’t Know Where ]

[ I Am Supposed To Go ]
[ What Will Be The Form? ]
[ Of What I Don’t Know? ]

[ Confusion Would Be @ The Top Of My List ]
[ I Would Be So Unsure Of What I Might Have Missed ]

[ What I Would Need @ The Time Would Be A Warm Drink
     That Goes Straight To The Soul ]
[ Then Try To Figure Out What Piece I Was Missing
     That Could Make Me Feel Whole ]

[ But Talk Is Very Cheap & Easy To Come By ]
[ When Alot Of People Try To Be Honest ]
[ They Can Only Lie ]
