Preference
Preference
If the feeling that I’m feeling
Made some sense, I would agree
That the purpose of the feeling
Would have benefits for me
But this feeling that I’m feeling
What it is, I do not know
All I know is that I’m feeling
Not like I did days ago
And this feeling that I’m feeling
I don’t trust it, not a bit
Doesn’t matter if I’m standing
Lying down, or if I sit
Yes, this feeling that I’m feeling
I don’t know, but it is weird
Why is it that I am feeling
Things I know that should be feared?
Oh, this feeling, Lord, please help me
Let it stop, no, let it be
Wait, I think I need a moment
Fear has just now turned to glee
How do I control this feeling?
It’s unruly, it is wild
I should find the strength to tame it
I prefer it calm and mild
But this feeling that I’m feeling
Really has a strong appeal
So I cowardly surrender
With an eagerness to feel.
