Make the Madness Disappear

Make the Madness Disappear

2/27/2015

I’d give anything to make the madness disappear

And stop the spinning in my head

But all I can do is grit my teeth and persevere.

My worries whirl and with my sleep they interfere

As I lay staring at the ceiling above my bed

I’d give anything to make the madness disappear.

The panic hits me in the chest like a spear

And I can’t breathe through the insistent dread

And all I can do is grit my teeth and persevere.

But through my pounding heart I cannot hear

Anything else that ever is said

And I’d give anything to make the madness disappear.

My wayward breath is a cruel mutineer,

My chest hurts so much; I think I may be dead

But all I can do is grit my teeth and persevere.

Through the panic and worry, I can’t stop the tears

I have no choice but to let it consume me instead

And I’d give anything to make the madness disappear

But all I can do is grit my teeth and persevere.
