"They say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." -John Lennon


It's gnawing at me, I know
I avoid it
Ignore it
Distract myself

From the obvious truth
Gnawing at me

Like a hang nail
I notice it
And decide to go for it
And I pick and pick
Till it bleeds

Now everyone can see
Its visible
Its toll on me

And what do I do?
To stop
Right now
My fingers stroll over words
Explaining my hangnail

Pretending not to notice how it shows
Pretending not to notice its even there
But something is felt
I can't put a finger on it
