Stimming

Started a band

To hold sound in my hand

Needed a home for my loud to land

Cause my mind plays its tricks

But I’ve got a fix

I wiggle my twitch ’til it sounds like a hit

I’m going so fast

The urge won’t relax

Music to quench and hold all of my clicks

I’m clenching my arms

Around a guitar

Make music instead of a hole the wall

My body

Is a sound

That carries

Me around

Need to tap tap tap on the glass

The world is a sea

Of confusions to me

Adrift with the inch of my raft in between

An ocean of noise

And a strange little boy

Deep in a mind filled with musical toys

Keeping me safe

As I paddle away from

The clamour and crash of another day

My stim protects

From the ways I could get

If there wasn’t a way to just play and forget

My body

Is a sound

That carries

Me around

Need to tap tap tap on the glass

Pound

On the face of the air I don’t

Care

Give me something to shake ’til it

Breaks

There’s a drum under every

Thumb

We can break through the shell of the world
