The skin around my thumb
Reminds me that everyday
I wish my head was numb
Damaged where skin should lay
Scratched and chewed, raw and sore
Hands at constant shake
I can’t stand this anymore
In the dead of the night I lie awake
Worry and stress run across my face
My head keeps screaming
Every thought enters like a race
Built up like pressure until it’s steaming
I wish I could leave
Detach from my anxiety
Just take time and breathe
Defuse this bomb inside of me
How is everyone so calm?
Too much fear, so much distress
There are so many things wrong
No one can see the pins and needles I express.
