Stress

There is a something
That keeps me awake 
Like a nicotine craving
It yearns and it aches 

We all get this something
More than we think 
Some more than others 
And some really sink

It’s that bit of stress
That won’t let you be
There more like you love
There’s more than just me

We all feel it different 
But in all it’s the same 
It’s that feeling of doubt 
That drives you insane 

It scratches and burns 
In the back of your mind 
Push right through love
And I swear you’ll be fine
