Drumming
Drumming
Drumming
Of fingers on my leg
Drowning out your every word; continues berate.
My muscles keep on jumping
Like popcorn on a stove
Or raindrops beating ******* roofs. The tempo only grows.
There’re hornets swarming in me
And humming through my skin
I have to let them out, you see, I cannot keep them in
There’s water in my ears
And fog behind my eyes
Yet you’re still telling me to sit still and listen to your cries
But I am like a toothbrush
The buzzy buzzy kind
The only way to make me stop is switching off my mind.
Believe me when I say that
I’d pause if I knew how
But I can’t, just like how you can’t keep your mouth from running now
