Inside My Skin
November 1, 2011
My heart is racing,
My breathing is nervous.
I am shaking inside my skin,
And I don't know how to stop.
I don't want to close my eyes,
But I don't want to open them.
I'm going to see something,
And it's going to see me.
I clasp my hands over my face,
I can hear someone screaming.
But then I realize,
It's me.
How much longer until this is over?
How much longer until the light comes on?
