~Ticks~

I have nervous ticks
I think we all do
Some tap their fingers
Others, nails they chew

I rub my wrists
Or bite my lip
My friend, the tip
Of his hands he'll nip

The other will glance
One way to the rest
Give a simple answer
Like it's a test

They tick because
They're scared of me
The reality is
They really should be

I break people down
Though I never mean to
So now you've been warned
Can't say I never told you
