just when i needed it to be
still, calm
it decided to have some crazy
spaz attack
spread from head to toe
i made a hasty excuse
stumbled down the stairs,
through the hallway
and collapsed on my bed,
trying not to wake the others
i curled up and shook
for what seemed like forever
and tried to convince myself
that i could control my own body
i wobbled up the stairs
and slipped back into bed with you
