I tense up
Hoping for salvation
Praying it will stop
The shakes
No, I'm not cold
My body and brain
Long not in communication
Go through periods of
Extreme shakes
Where I cannot control neither
When your body
Starts shaking from head to toe
You can't stop it
Your jaw quivers
So violently
Words cannot be formed
The only salvation other
Then a shit ton of
Anti-anxiety meds
Is to curl up in a ball
And listen to new age music
The tremors
Are savage
As they rack your body
For hours at a time
And most times
There isn't a
Trigger in sight
It's like a strange
Quasi out of body experience
You're still there
But you are not in control
In any shape or form
Just pray for it all to stop
Please.
