Modern Anxiety

Jarrett Osborn

All the eyes are staring at me
Flay the sacrificial lamb
Angry barking dogs in cubicles
Are lining up to bite my hand

Pouring meds right down our throats
And surfing the big sad
Lashing out a spiteful scrape
‘cause everyone’s on edge

Lo and behold the bright future
Don’t forget the useless past
Nights I’m playing back all my missteps
Now hear my heart is beating fast
