I’m all touched out 

Unwanted hands touch my body searching for comfort 

Attempting to grab my clothing as I try to escape their grasp

Tears swell in my eyes because I can’t handle being touched so much

Unwanted hands reach out to grab onto me 

Touching me to see if I am real or a figment of their imagination

I scream “stop touching me” but it falls on deaf ears

People everywhere reaching out to touch me, use me, pull from my energy source

Their touches unwanted

There is nowhere for me to escape 

Even at home instead of hands it’s paws

Paws graze my skin leaving marks, searching for comfort and love

They drain me without replenishment

Needing me and wanting all that I have

Everywhere I go someone needs or wants something from me

Feeling like hundreds of hands coming from everywhere trying to grab onto me for dear life 

I am all touched out………………….and the saddest part is there is no where to escape the touches.
