CREEPY CRAWLIES

“Creepy Crawlies”

Who is it?

Who’s there?

Answer me.

You are where?

I feel something crawling underneath my skin

Eating at me from within

I scratch.

I claw.

I bleed.

I’m raw.

Get out of me. I yell at you.

You’re in my head. I’ve not a clue.

Just how it is I get rid of you.

You’re messing with my head, ya see

Crawling around inside my brain

I can not learn to live with thee

You’re driving me mad, driving me insane

The rubbing, scratching, clawing, the shame

I really will be okay

See, they have already gone away

Until they come back again another day

Wait!

Who is it?

Who’s there?

Answer me.

You are where?
