To Try and Try
It's easy to just drift away
When daydreams do abound.
They come and go on any day;
No value to be found,
Most float on through my consciousness
And rarely stay for long,
But some will cause me much duress
With images quite strong,
Anxiety sometimes attacks
Through angry thoughts if I
Don't monitor when I relax
With faith to try and try!
