The Habit Date: Sunday, 2nd April 2006 @ 08:43:16 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: bethwood I keep nibbling and biting But this habit I'm fighting I'm determind to stop biting my nails, I start with intentions So good but should mention That with every attempt I fail. With willpower renewed For these fingers I've chewed As they're really becomming quite sore, But once I sit thinking I'm sure they start winking And beg me to bite them some more. So nibble, I do Just one, maybe two I'll start with my middle finger, But once nibbled I notice And question my motives As the soreness begins to linger. Determination refreshed I must do my best This habit I really must conquor, But as I sit reeling From this sore nibbled feeling Oh! how i wish my nails were longer!!. Beth Wood April 06.
