ANXIETY

there isn't a cause you can explain that you could explain,
but i'll claw my way in like a cat in the rain.

i don't pretend to make much sense,
but i'll twist up your nerves like a barbed-wire fence.

if you find yourself without a qualm,
i'll send chills up your spine with my icy palm.

although your whole to-do list is ticked,
i'll set fire to your cheeks like a match to a wick.

no matter the time or the month or the season,
i'll ruin your day without rhyme or reason.
