A Bad Feeling

I had this feeling that something was about to happen,
What it was I wasn't sure ,good or bad  I wasn't going to ignore,
With the twitching of my eyes and the palpitations of my heart,
I prayed and waited hoping it was something good ,
But feared it could be bad.

It was a gift I wished I had never had,
For it only made others mad,
A crazy feeling a stupid feeling a feeling that just won't go away,
I pray each day I would wake up and it will be there no more,
But I last had this feeling six months ago,
Now I  try my best to wipe it away with prayer every day,
Oh how I wish this feeling would go away.
