I cause myself severe anxiety It's so hard To have it my way I overthink it I don't know what it is But I have this guilt This fear That follows me around It goes where I am It takes up time It gets in the way I can't make everything perfect Can't erase that twenty-eight times It's unreasonable It's unrealistic It won't happen Even if I rewrite everything Forty times It still Isn't perfect I'm unreasonable I'm not perfect I know it's true So why can't I stop Doing it?

I have this thing This thing that I do It's no big deal It's just this thing that I do I took three steps That's one less than four Even though four is not a bad number It is too close to the ones that are Three and eight are the best Followed by twelve and twenty-four And all the numbers of seven Well not the numbers with five Those send shivers down my spine Even numbers are better than odds Excepts two Which combined with three is five I said odds are worse But thirteen is pretty great As long as it doesn't mix With the ones that I hate And eight is Ok But sometimes it makes me think That eight is too close to nine And to make nine you must have five So sometimes I don't think That eight is so Ok This is the thing This thing that I do I know this behavior is strange But this is just the thing that I do

Sometimes I wonder If anyone would understand Why I am the way I am If I told the truth If I came clean Laid out all the lies The things I hide Would they be disappointed Would they scream in my face Would they laugh at my ways I don't know what would happen I'm too scared to think Too scared to tell those around me How I live my days
