I Can’t Sit Still
I can’t sit still
my body wiggles and shakes
I can’t sit still
my hands dance to no music
my legs stiffen then go limp
I can’t sit still
my mind is in a race
all of it’s own
I can’t sit still
it hurts to remember
tired brain
I can’t sit still
although I’m bound
captured by the terror
I can’t sit still
I am running
I am dancing
I am mimicking
I am crawling
I am wailing
I can’t sit still
I need to get away from you.
