Apprehension

Apprehension is my favorite sweater
Built by the threads of my insecurities
I wrap myself tightly in its warmth
To keep everything within me

Built by the threads of my insecurities
I pretend that I can keep it all together
To keep everything pent up inside of me
Pretending to be warm in this sweater

I pretend that I can keep it all together
Yet, I am shivering in the winter weather
Pretending to be warm in a sweater
My teeth are chattering with fear

Yet, I am shivering in the winter weather
I wrap myself tightly in its warmth
My teeth are chattering with fear
Apprehension is my favorite sweater
