Just a touch and rage burns in my soul
Unwanted contact horrifies me
The feeling caused by human interaction irritates me
It’s a fire that is fueled everyday
I can’t help but internally scream
I push the hate down to the pit of my stomach;
Where it lurches and prowls waiting to escape
Do not touch me I repeat over and over
Constantly at risk of human contact
I despise the uncomfortable feeling
I shouldn’t have to repeat myself thousands of times
I don’t like being touched get away from me
Don’t touch me leave me alone get away stay away
