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.
