Has Anyone Seen My Sanity?

 

Has anyone seen my sanity?

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
