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.
