I’m apprehensive

Don’t know where my head is

You wear your heart on your sleeve I wear my nerves on a necklace

so I wrap myself around in the arms of my own sweater find myself in doubt thinking how can I do better

I feel the weight fall on my shoulders I guess this is getting older

you just get used to it
