Emotional Turmoil



I feel a little shaky, I can't control my nerves
I know you think I'm fakin', but can't you feel the curves?
I swear to you I feel it, it scares me half to death
It gathers in my throat and it gathers up my breath

I'm picking up the telephone, there's no one I can call
I need somebody bad tonight, can't find no sleep at all
I wish I could relax, I just can't stop my mind
I wish I could collapse but my body's not that kind

Anxiety - Got me on the run
Anxiety - Yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety - Can't get nothin' done
Anxiety - Spoils all the fun

Sometimes in the city, sometimes in my car
I pound on the windows like a bee inside a jar

Anxiety - Got me on the run
Anxiety - Yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety - Can't get nothin' done
Anxiety - Spoils all the fun

  1. Oh my,... I feel like that bee in the jar right now. If only somebody would open the lit. These words are super Joyce. Call me if you need me my friend. In days like this you wonder why the world is so darn big...Hugs me.

    Ps. Yes is was some sort of B&B in Austria. And on my next vacation I'll get you an extra stamp my smartass. At least you made me smile for a moment here...Needed that so much.Why does it ache that bad...It seems that I simply can't stop crying. You'll be in my mind.

  4. Perfectly expressed - anxiety can be so debilitating. I'm sorry if this is how you're feeling Joyce. Hope it's a little better now? When I get very anxious I literally remind myself to just breathe... sometimes it helps.
