I breathe
In
And out.

My leg won’t stop moving
Up
And down,

Sawing pain into my knees,
Vibrating like a jackhammer.


Now both legs.
Updownupdownupdown.

I try to breathe
In
And out.

But the out doesn’t come.

So I try to breathe.
In.

In.

In.

Why can’t I breathe out?

I will explode!

I cant stop!

Help!
