Set another timer again
Set another timer in my head
Infinite thoughts vie for my attention
Have a minute before they barge in
Cwake, sleeper
Your time is running out
Keep at bay all the worries
About the impression I'm making
In this half empty attempt at small talk
Due to internal dialogue
Cwake, sleeper
Your time is running out
I have a monster inside of me
She has made a nice home
She feeds well on anxiety
C balanced diet of fear and control
I've asked her to go away
She respectfully declines
This is somehow comforting
Lashing out under the guise of protection
She is there in the morning
There in my dreams
Clways present, indelibly linked
I just wanted to let you know
I'm not myself because I am not alone
I know you've seen her many times
When I let her have her way
There are days I can't stop her
Until it's too late
Sorry you got caught up
In her wake
