Fight Or Flight

Fight or flight? My body enquires No, I laugh I've just woken up Do you need me now? My body presses No, I explain I’m just off to work I'm sure you need me My body insists No, I assure I'm just with a friend You must need a hand My body decides No! I argue I'm just driving home Don't ignore me forever My body threatens No? I whisper I just want to relax I'm here, I'm ready My body compels No! I cry I just want to sleep Good morning, sunshine You look tired today But, no fear I'm here again The shake of your fingers The race of your heart The blood pulsing, forcing Itself through your veins The quiver of your voice The sickness in your stomach The restlessness Insatiable I'm here again I'm raring to go Please, no, I beg I'm just trying to live
