Flow Coma.

I can't stop shaking
so I put on my woolly jacket and hide under my covers.

I can't stop shaking
so I try my breathing exercises to no avail.

I can't stop shaking
so I hyperventilate and hope to pass out.

I can't stop shaking
so I stand under a hot shower until my skin goes bright red.

I can't stop shaking
so I peel off my wet clothes.

I can't stop shaking
so I go out and get drunk.


Epilogue:
I want to be a person
that doesn't resort to this every time.
