My body is so familiar
With the different anxieties I feel
That I almost worry
It's way ahead of the game
Way ahead of what
My mind might recognize
And goes on feeling
All the negativity
All the fear
Before I can even catch up
And when I get there
It's already too late
But I'm learning
I can take a beat
And I can settle my bouncing legs
And my chaotic mind
And I can tell myself,
"It's okay,
you're fine
You can settle down
And in
And you can relax
Even if it's just a little
Take a deep breath
Or a few
You'll be all right."
