FREED VERSE

“i’m just not an angry person”

skin peeling inside out
contacts getting dry
my eyes myopic, bloated from pressure building behind them
the problem isn't in my veins
but my vision is too blurred to see what else it could be.

toes curled;
calves cramped.
to move is painful
but to stay is searing.
rather have my muscle fibers tear
than the whole leg go numb.
