sometimes it doesn’t feel like butterflies.
when I’m sitting in english class
and my arms are shaking
and my hands are clammy
and all I can think is
what if
what if
what if.

sometimes it doesn’t feel like butterflies.
sometimes it feels like slugs and snails
and centipedes that crawl.
like spiders and caterpillars

I don’t know why people call it butterflies
because it isn’t pretty or colourful.

it makes me feel sick.
