Day 226

Shudder

My hands shook.
I could not get a grip on the razor.
pick it up
drop it
pick it up again
just hold it
hold it still
just long enough
just long
damn it
pick it up
pick it up
pick
it
up
you can do this
I can do this
this
this
of all things
why the hell is this so hard
why can't I just do this
pick it up
pick
it
up
now hold it steady
steady.
My hands shook
with a million tremors.
The more I tried to
still them
the more they fought back.
It was a battle I could not win.
