Arthritic
People think I have nervous habits and ticks..
I don’t.
I know what I do most of the time,
But I don’t have to be nervous to do them
I bite my nails, bottom lip,
Scratch all my nail polish off.
Crack my fingers over and over,
And break my nails off.
I know I do these things.
Most of the time
But I can’t help it,
I just have to do something.
Regardless of how small, it has to be something self-destructive.
At least one has become a bigger problem than expected.
Pre-mature arthritis at 16.
