My mind welcomed the stranger at the start of the day

the beginning of my plan blew to hell,

the little stranger that entered my life

added to the need to be strong.

The stranger that brought such turmoil

to a life so calm and true,

was brought in from a mind confused,

Its name was anxiety,

and it forced its way in.
