What Am I To Do

My emotion

washing over me like the ocean

waking me up in a commotion 

Doctor give me a potion

I need your devotion

what am I to do?

Wave upon wave  

I'm buried as if in a grave

disturbing my sleep like a rave

waking me up won't behave

making me into its slave 

What am I to do?

Have I been had

maybe I'm going mad

'ordered a happy meal but I am sad

one number short on the keypad

makes me a deadbeat dad

What am I to do?

Cold now and frightened 

stomach muscles tightened

senses alerted and heightened 

is it black or is it white and -

every day and every night and -

is this to be my plight and -

my god it shines so bright and -

can I ever turn off this light and -

overcome it; try as I might and -

I'm not sure I can fight it

here as I write it

but what am I to do?

With my emotions 

washing over me like the ocean

waking me up in a commotion 

Doctor give me a potion.

I need your devotion

what am I to do?
