My head, my heart, my hands, my knees.
They quiver with panic and worry.

It never stops.

I take my pills and try to breathe.
I close my eyes and imagine peace.

It never stops.

My head hurts now.
My eyes are tearing.

It never stops.

There's a weight on my shoulders.
It's pushing down on me.

It never stops.

I pour my heart out and scream.
He sits and listens calmly.

It finally stops.
