Nail Biting

I'm biting my skin Because my nails Well, they've been bitten to the nub My anxiety is taking over But I won't let it show I don't know what to say So the only reason my mouth is open Is so it can wrap around my flesh If you gave me back my blade, I would stop biting my nails

I am biting my nails, then moving onto the skin around it. I honestly don't know why I wrote this, but I did, and I am going to post it.
