Marta Owczarek - Weird Angle

Whenever I feel unwell,
I try not to make a story of it.
Not shove it into people’s faces.
It’s like having a nosebleed,
and leaning your head to the back a little,
so that the blood doesn’t trickle from your nose,
but down your throat instead.
It feels horrible, but at least
no one can see the horror in full scale.
In fact, they can’t see it at all:
who’d pay attention to the
weird angle my head is at?
