DEAR MRS ANXIETY

DEAR MRS ANXIETY
 PLEASE GIVE ME A BREAK
 EVERY NIGHT I SWALLOW
 THE PILLS THEY HAVE ME TAKE
 I GO TO MY BED EARLY
 I’VE STOPPED WATCHING THE NEWS
 I ONLY SMOKE OCCASIONALLY AND
 I’VE CUT RIGHT DOWN ON THE BOOZE
  
 MY BODY FEELS LIKE SOMEONE ELSE
 MY WORDS CAN’T FIND MY MOUTH
 I WANT TO BE ALONE
 AND NEVER LEAVE MY HOUSE
 GIVE ME BACK MY SPIRIT
AND A BIT OF SLEEP WON’T HURT
 I’VE GOT MOUTHS TO FEED
 I NEED TO GO TO WORK
  
 I’VE REALLY DONE QUITE WELL
 40 YEARS THIS WAY
 BUT NOW IT’S GOT TOO MUCH FOR ME
 PLEASE JUST  GO AWAY
 YES, THANKYOU FOR THE HIGHS 
 AND THE ‘CREATIVITY’
 BUT CAN I HAVE SOME PEACE NOW?
 CAN YOU LET ME BE?
