in the mirror I saw you
you picked debris from your teeth. And
caressed your pearly whites
with the tip of a soft plump tongue

confessions of a former nail biter
IMAGINE HAVING TO STAND BEFORE AN "AA" SORTA GROUP TO CONFESS YOUR BAD HABITS AND HOW YOU ARE GETTING OVER THEM... THIS IS MY STORY
There are lotsa things in my life i decided i hated and needed to move on from.
AUDIENCE; clap, clap...wow!
well, some i really tolerated until the boobs started to show and boys started to look at me funnyand...you know, hormones raging like hell fire..
so you wanna save face and stop ____
PREGNANT PAUSE AND SILENCE...WAITING
Like nail biting!
AAH...RELIEVED SIGHS AND UNCOMFY SNIGGERS
I had been biting my nails in froever till primary 7. i would chew up on that dead hard plate of 'skin' to the top of my fingers till they bleed!
SHOCKED GASPS, WHISPERINGS
When i was nervous, it was 'worst!'
SHRIEKS
Aww com'on guys, dont tell me you are such pickled saints you dont have your own confessions...well this is mine so deal with this quietly we are all in this together...okay, where was i?
oh yes, worse was , i would chew up both nail and cuticles plus certain skin around the nails that had hardened. i would save 3000 shillings by doing all the 'manicuring' my self
SHOCK, SOME ONE FAINTS
SHEEPISHLY; when i was about 9 years old. i actually tried to bite my toenails
MORE WAVES OF SHOCK AND DISGUST REVERBERATE THROUGH THE AUDIENCE
eww, huh?...yeah, i know
anyway so i hit 13 and the girls in my class had this thing about their nails and boys were strangely drawn to nails. my turning point came when a boy i had badly crushed on asked to see my nails
AAAH! UUUH! WOLF WHISTLES AND CAT CALLS!
Stop you guys, you are embarassing me....Anyway, and his were the cutest ten dead cells i had ever seen; so long, clean and well manicured. i hid my hands so far, he prolly thought i did not have arms.
i decided then that i needed to quit.
.......it was hard
SYMPATHETIC SOUNDS
.......................i would bite one week
.........................................and not the next
EMPHATIC SIGHS
The temptations were worse when i would watch them blossom to certain hieghts and with my self help therapy i would simply tell myself 'only one...just one... and the crooked one...just to straighten them
natural nail files
--but now i can say i am a free woman!
LOUD APPLAUSES!
Free from the need to eat them dead cells...
MORE APPLAUSES!
But not entirely...
SUDDEN HARSH, CONFUSED GLANCES AND GASPS
you see, i still chew up all that cuticle and skin everytime it hardens (sheepish smile)
DISAPPOINTED SIGHS
WELL SO MUCH FOR A CONFESSION...BUT I TOLD THE WHOLE TRUTH ANYHOW)
