Your stomach is 10 ft underground and you feel like throwing up You notice your palms are clammy and a drop of sweat slowly slips down your arm You’ve already bitten at 8 of your 10 nails that you were immensely proud of growing out And three of your fingertips have dried blood following the curvature of your fingers You start tapping your feet, tapping your hands in an effort to remain calm Waiting for the answer you slowly unravel and lose the twine

What three words can really do to you
Your stomach is 10 ft underground and you feel like throwing up You notice your palms are clammy and a drop of sweat slowly slips down your arm You’ve already bitten at 8 of your 10 nails that you were immensely proud of growing out And three of your fingertips have dried blood following the curvature of your fingers You start tapping your feet, tapping your hands in an effort to remain calm Waiting for the answer you slowly unravel and lose the twine
