Happiness, but for how long?
How long until sadness returns?
Peace, but for how long?
How long until anxiety rules again?
Safe, but for how long?
How long until fear takes over?
Love, but for how long?
How long until it's gone?

Always fretting over what's to come
Forgetting to enjoy the present.
Blessings on my lips and tongue
But my mind will not relent.
