the
nerves
are
up
and
about
they
’re skippin'
and
jumpin'
around
dragging
thoughts
here
and
there
re
-tracing
possibilities
and
probabilities
the
nerves
are
chattering
away
keepin'
me
awake
just
be
quiet
,
nerves
.
pipe
down
.
teeth
stop
clenching
,
heart
stop
hurling
blood
round
my
veins
you
gotta
settle
down
and
let
me
get
some
sleep
stop
that
pointless
racket,
it's
not
doing
anyone
any
good
.

I
usually
try
some
beta
brainwave inducing
CD
w
/stereo
headphones
and
/or
some
green
tea
and
some
kind
of
calming
and
focusing
mantra

I
looked
for
my
tea
this
morning
,
looked
and
looked
till
I
remembered
that
I
left
it
a
Bec's
house
.
I
must
get
my
amazing
cure
-all
tea
back
before
I
have
to
do
that
again
.
When
I
got
home
after
,
the
nerves
were
so
relieved
that
I
went
straight
to
sleep
.
Exhausting
.

take
a
deep
breath
-
try
to
relax
-
try
to
forget
the
nerves
-
fail
miserably
-
try
not
to
scream
-
get
the
beginnings
of
a
sore
throat
-
look
for
something
to
do
-
spot
something
shiny
-
begin
chewing
on
earring
-
realize
that
chewing
on
earrings
is
just
as
bad
if
not
worse
than
gritting
your
teeth
-
chew
a
little
more
-
spit
out
earring
in
disgust
-
go
downstairs
and
ask
dad
for
gum
-
marvel
at
how
calm
you
sound
,
and
how
he
cant
tell
how
fucked
up
you
are
-
chew
gum
-
smile
