What if?

Your heart begins to race
And hands begin to sweat

Why are you scared?
Why are you sad?

Fear deceives
An unseen thief

What if this?
What if that?

Exhausting...
Just want to sleep

Sleep?
Maybe for awhile

Then it's something else
In the middle of the night
Wander the house
Like a ghost

A ghost of yourself
Confined to your cell

You've got the key
Somewhere in your mind
You keep looking
But it seems impossible to find

Better hurry before time runs out
The cycle is about to start again

Alcohol?
Pills?
Day in day out

Call the doctor?
Without a doubt
