First Day Jitters
Your impatience fuels my nervousness
when you breathe down my neck
The confidence I thought I had
is keeping me in check.
Adrenaline starts seepin' in
and trips the 'fight-or-flight'
My heart beats so
it looks as though
I won't sleep well tonight.
The training team you put me with
thinks I'm an idiot!
I can't grasp what they're talkin' about
I'm just not 'gettin' it
I hope tomorrow will be good
'least better than today
This first day on the job was tough
I don't know if I'll stay!
