The Struggle Is Real

The alarm clock rings again, the third time I hit snooze

I realize my moments passed, and I've got no time to lose

The anxious, excited bubbles, start to rise like air balloons

Anxcitous feelings kicking in, as I fly about the room.

I hop into the shower, plan in my head what I should wear

I've been single for some time now, so I don't know why I care

I brush and floss my teeth, as I brush and dry my hair

Why'd I say yes? This Anxcitous feelings too much to bear.

The outfit I laid out, looks like a match made by Garanimals

The perfume that I have is old, and labeled, highly flamable

We went to the casino, where he learned I like to gamble

And when I'm Anxcitous, I have the tendency to ramble

We survived the date, surprisingly, and he walked me to my door

He kissed my cheek so tenderly, but I could tell he wanted more

The Anxcitous bubbles started to rise, just like before

That a little toot slipped by, dropping him swiftly, to the floor

If he never calls again, I guess I'll have to understand

my nerves sure get the best of me, it's more than I can stand

If I had a solution for this Anxcitous problem, I ache from

I'd be a millionaire, helping the others out there - solve em'

    Kind of like life in a way. I think.

  • Lol, this was a fun one! I enjoyed it!

  • Hysterical. But if a little toot drives him away rather than make him smile, feel more comfortable & at home with you, it's probably better he never call again, lol. I'd have laughed. I hope you would have, too. I could imagine something wonderful developing from that point on.

  • 😂😂😂👍💯
