"People believe that if we really want to eliminate something, focus on that. How much sense does it make for us to give the particular problem all of the energy, as opposed to focusing on trust, love, living in abundance, education, or peace? -Un.

I can feel,

The muscles in my legs,

Contracting,

Getting tighter and tighter.

A burning sensation follows,

The worst feeling ever,

I try to explain,

What is wrong,

But I can't talk.

All I want,

Is for this pain to go away.

I feel the need to scream,

And I do.

An ear-piercing shriek.

So much pain,

So fast.

And just when I think,

It's all done,

I shuffle my legs,

And try to stand up.

But I only seem to fall back down.

Tears in my eyes,

The pain is back,

It never left.

I have weird feelings in my legs and back... On the day I wrote this I had a particulary bad experience.
