Turn It Off

My brain's thoughts when I see him

I just want my brain to stop

"Turn it off"

My heart rate rises when I hear him

I just want my heart to stop

"Turn it off"

My fear of talking to him

My loss of courage with each eye contact

"Turn it off"

I tell myself

"But then I'll have more thoughts" says my brain

"But then I will beat more" says my heart

I don't care

"Turn it off"

My fear

And then these thoughts and hearbeats

Won't have to be turned off anymore
