The Heart Chronicles

➳ Tell-Tale Sign

I don't think I can hold on anymore

There's an ache in my bones

That I can't ignore

My shaky hands

Are a tell-tale sign

Of my anxiety filled life

That does not seem to get any better

Even if I sit on my hands

To show the world that my hands do not tremble

And that I am normal

But how much longer can I carry this on?

How much longer can I carry the baggage that comes with quivering hands and sweaty palms

when I can't even carry my own weight?

So is it worth it to continue living on

when all my "living" consists of sleepless nights and sad days?

Because I'd rather carry a gun to my head with shaky hands

Than live with them for the rest of my life.
