Yes, It Hurts

I've landed in
a mental space
that sometimes
makes me forget
my own face
I'll have to
touch the tips
of each of my
fingers
then do it again
I'll get so anxious
that I'll chew my
nails instead
until the nails are gone
and only red
remains
but the pain
is never permanent
I misspelled my
own name
and realized
nothing is
permanent
it hurts
doesn't it?
