Wretch

Breathe in slowly
Tighten up your back
Don't let them see
The tapping of your feet
Or the inconsistent breathing

Did they notice?
Cause I didn't know this

It was countless nights spent composing
How I'd hide that I was vulnerable and broken
How long till I stop convulsing
I'm freaking out and I can't catch my breath
So I'll sleep alone and hope that I find rest
This wretch

Did I just think
That I could keep this down?
I can't believe
I've made it here by now
And not 10 feet underground

And nobody noticed
I didn't know this

It was countless nights spent composing
How I'd hide that I was vulnerable and broken
How long till I stop convulsing
I'm freaking out and I can't catch my breath
So I'll sleep alone and hope that I find rest
This wretch
