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.
