I Am Probably Insane
Pull in
Trying to keep my sensors in
Don't want to hurt
Don't want to feel
Open to pain
Can't shut them off
Afraid to touch
Must look ahead
Not side to side
Don't want to see
Too much to deal with
Too many faces
Too many chances to hurt
Too many chances to be rejected
Criticized
I hear her tell me
Yelling
See her mouth move
Hide my head
Hold my ears
Can't stand it right now
Too young
Not old
Not me
The child
Protect
The child
Myself
Pull in
Pull in
Pull in
Pull in
Trying to keep my sensors in
Don't want to hurt
Don't want to feel
Open to pain
Can't shut them off
Afraid to touch
Must look ahead
Not side to side
Don't want to see
Too much to deal with
Too many faces
Too many chances to hurt
Too many chances to be rejected
Criticized
I hear her tell me
Yelling
See her mouth move
Hide my head
Hold my ears
Can't stand it right now
Too young
Not old
Not me
The child
Protect
The child
Myself
Pull in
Pull in
Pull in
Pull in
