I’d thought it safe within me
When suddenly I detected
Among the missing, it had defected
What did I do?
Maybe my own fault, wish I knew
But without sanity my days will be ill
Disorder and chaos the hours they’ll fill
What must I do to bring back my sanity?
Certainly a resistance to shout useless profanity
Must keep composure, must stay calm
Retain self-control, no need for alarm
Breathe in breathe out
It’s just anxiety no doubt
My sanity is safe and sound where it’s always been
Sometimes the victim when stress sets in
