I feel it: it is coming
I start to feel hot
Knees turn red and sore.
Thighs bright red and swollen.
I feel the fire burning my waist
Reaching for my organs.
Lungs swelling, stopping me breathing.
My heart growing so big.
My chest is bulging
Reaching my neck
Veins turning black
Pulsing on my forehead.
