My friend took this poem to a professional music executive even though it was a poem, and the guy thought i had potential. So, i thought id pass it around a bit.
November 5th, 2004. "Today sir, is not your day to die" by Danny
"I struggle badly with anxiety disorder, and even though sometimes my
own advice doesnt work, sometimes all you need is a good dose of
motivation. Hopefully this helps, even if its just a good read.
Sun rises up, roll out of bed
Sun rises up, brush a comb through your head
Sun rises up, as you say your daily prayers
Sun rises up, as you walk down the stairs.
Put on a coat, some shoes, a tie
Today sir, is not your day to die
Straighten your clothes, open the door
Feelings rush through your body, make you want to hit the floor.
The anxiety, a rush
Your face goes white, so flush
One step forward, three steps back
Feel the beginning of a panic attack
The room spins, your tie feels tightened
Your stomach knots, your mind feels frightened
Slide down the wall onto the ground
As your shaky brain begins to pound
A migraine, so sudden distracts you
Struggling to get up, "What the hell did i do?"
Flashes around the world, your not the only one
To feel this extreme pain, ruin all your fun
Canada, Belgium, populous alike
In their car, in the shower, on a bike
Legs go so shaky, feet feel numb
Nothing seems to work, not even a handful of tums
But hush little baby dont you cry
Danny's going to sing you a lullaby
Stop listening to your mind, its telling a lie
Today sir, is not your day to die
One step forward, three steps back
seven more steps forward, attack attack
four steps backward, ten steps ahead
Shake that feeling out, your feet arent made of lead
Overcome, progress, live your life
Chop up those negative feelings with a very sharp knife
Face your fears, stare at them eye to eye
Yell at them with the words "Im not afraid" even if its a lie
The mind is a very powerful device
But the power of choice can put the mind in a vice
Put your foot on the gas, and drive away from your fears
Keep confident, and avoid that burden for years and years
So grab your lighter and raise your light
Say it with me if your ready to fight
Stop listening to your mind, its telling a lie
Today sir, is not your day to die"
