Erin Weiler
early 2004
I’m anxious, I’m sweating, I’m nervous
It’s all starting to show through the surface.
It’s all so much for my mind to process.
I won’t live if I don’t have success.
I can’t fight it anymore so I won’t.
I can’t stop it anymore so I don’t.
You took me down hard without a word
My walls came down from all I’ve heard.
My carefully constructed defences are gone.
And for once it doesn’t really feel so wrong.
I have no skin. It’s there for you to see.
But I don’t flinch when you step up to touch me.
