Pirouette of Hysterics - WRVTH

I’m licking my wounds

Picking at my scabs

Digging deep

Deeper and deeper into my skin

Anxious antics

Bewildered and damned

Scars line my body from scratching this constant itch

Devouring the truth

Swallowing my will

A pirouette of hysterics

I keep biting the inside of my lip in a nervous fit

Making myself bleed

The bitter taste of iron brings a wave of relief

Like gargling salt water to treat my pulled teeth

My face aging with each passing day

Eyes bruised black from my fights with sleep

Gnawing at my fingernails as my thoughts begin to seethe

Anxious antics

Bewildered and damned

Anxious antics

Pirouette of hysterics
