All Teeth

nailbiters

No, I'm not afraid!
Okay, okay, I'm terrified!
Is that what you want me to say?
So what if I'm faint at heart?
I can still hold my own.
Just me, myself, and my troubling thoughts;
nothing wrong with that.
I'm free, free to qualm in my disquietude,
free to get lost in the casting shadows of my doubts...
Who am I kidding?
I'll tell you what, I'll bite your nails
and I'll bite mine too
as we wait to see who goes first.
I just hope it's soon.
Hope it's me.
The suspense is killing me.

Sincerely,
the Nailbiter
