crack


Knuckles cracking make me tick. Just the sound alone makes me sick. I sit and try to swallow my pain But the sound is like piping hot metal branding my brain. I can't handle the popping My friend's joints never stopping The sound is just maddening But the disorder I have is saddening For how can a girl be at ease When the most mundane sound sends her into sobbing please? I live with mesophonia everyday And this, my friends, makes me tick in every way.
