<pre class="commentbubble commentauthor" style="width: 450px;">My lips are chewed raw

Nails, bitten to the quick

Fingertips, nibbled away like cheese by tiny mice

My scalp has sore spots from my insistent scratching of that nonexistent itch

My leg won't stop shivering

I pick and pick and pick at my skin until it bleeds or I can't bear to touch it

And all at the fault of anxiety</pre>
