When I’m really nervous, I start picking at the skin on my lips and hope it will heal over before--

 

Before nothing

 

Nothing will happen

 

When I’m really nervous, I play with the ends of my hair and wonder if--

 

If I’ll ever wake up from this nightmare where someone lo--

 

Looks at me like I’m an actual person

 

When I’m really nervous--

 

I take a deep breath and whisper get over yourself
