try as i may, and do as you might
what makes you quiver at the break of night?
an anxiety restless, won’t leave me alone
just me with my thoughts, nobody to phone
one nostril breathed in, the other out
for one quiet moment, this eases all doubts
a panic a flash, a tightening of the chest
the thought train is back, my mind is obsessed
so for now it’s down down the spiral i go
where am I going to? nobody really knows
yet for a brief second, i’ve caught some light
at the end of the tunnel, it’s myself holding me tight
