Crawling over my skin
the feeling of
alertness
Stop!
I grab my arm, my leg
Something's wrong
horribly wrong
emotions rage inside me
breaking me down
tearing my mind
I cry out in tears
"Please just stop!"
Silence...
now echos through my room
and then
my foot starts shaking again
Sickly movements cover me
as I go to sleep
Author notes
The promopt was: akathisia which is a state of motor restlessness, sometimes produced by neuroleptic medication, that ranges from a feeling of inner distress to an inability to sit still.
I think I may have taken a cliche look to it, but I was just trying to get emotions out. . .

breaking me down
tearing my mind
