Nerves jangled, neurons like jelly,
I walk, my steps light and airy,
The whites of my eyes reddened
Brain all clogged with hyperactive thoughts
Multiple caffeine overdoses
Just so that I can get through a day
Without wanting to strangle someone.
I say that I'm fine, really I'm totally drained,
Devoid of all rational thoughts
As my upper body tightens.
I'm not sad, I'm not happy,
I'm not angry, my state of mind is simple.
I'm still fighting the battle no one ever really wins.
