In the face of something new

My face now takes a different view

I’m the luckiest girl alive,

I survived

I got better,

And now when my overthinking mind

Won’t let me be,

I take hold of her

Firmly but more gently than before,

And I ask her to back off

To relent,

I tell her there’s shit to do

And I don’t have time for her tortured ways

It’s the sword of the samurai

The crack of the whip of the lion tamer,

This life is a circus that’s for sure.
