How Long

How long must I wait For my life to begin My patience was good But it’s now wearing thin I’ve asked for so little To spare me this hell All I want is a clear head For me to be well I get up in the morning To welcome the Sun Hoping today is the day When I’ll start to have fun But I’ve no sooner dressed And knotted my tie When the panic sets in And I think I will die My body is shaking I’m struggling to breathe My heart is pounding To the beat of my knees I just want to sit down And block out all the noise Wait for shaking to stop I have no other choice Breathe deeply and slowly Till the panic subsides And wait till the next time Mind and body collide
