Shaking

I'm constantly shanking
Tiny tremors through my body I fight to hold back
In
Out
In
Out
I breath
Calm down
Lie to yourself
Say its going to be ok
Just stop shaking
I bite back my lip again and agin
Pick at it
Rip it
Tear it
Shred it
Just to hold back the tears
And the screams
I bite my tongue as well
Hold back all the bile and anger
Claw at my skin
Instead of letting my fists reach others
All for appearance sake
I'm shaking again
I'm angry
And scared
I just want away
I just want to stop shaking
