Discombobulated by Helen Eccles | My dear,
You do not need
To fear
A fate
Which leaves you
Feeling
Quite berated.
You say,
you feel
Discombobulated.
I think you’ll find
your discomposure
Quickly ends
With this disclosure.
Life will bring
That comprehension
Which will end
Your apprehension.
Fear Turns
Into excitation
And so - no longer,
Discombobulated,
You’ll finally find
You’re quite elated.
