Whenever I'm doing
something
anything at all
I find myself counting
1-2-3-4....

I eat
something
anything at all
I find myself counting
the bites
1-2-3-4.....

I drink
something
anything at all
I find myself counting
1-2-3-4.....

And when I lay down
and try to sleep
I find myself counting
1-2-3-4....
until I'm asleep

I wake up
a few hours later
it begins again
the counting
1-2-3-4....
until I'm back to sleep<

I wake up
take a shower
and even there
the counting begins
1-2-3-4.....

That's my life
in a nutshell
I count
something
everything
all day long

1-2-3-4.....!
