Nerves of Popcorn

Each limb holds on by a thread
Tolerance barometer...BOILING RED
Toss, Turn, nightmare becomes reality
Seems like an unrealistic brutality

Impulses in brain
Interrupted by worry
Furry over defeat
They're not even sorry

Nerves like popcorn
Arguments explode
Break out of sight
Much more to this road

Wipe my cheeks
Tear ducks on their knees
My fight far from over
I pray god, help me please...
