you refuse to relate, but deep down you know you do.

One.

I pick up the apple sitting in the fruit basket.

"Eating again already?"

It was my first thing I've eaten in days besides gum and water.

I put it down.

"You already grabbed it, now eat it."

The words fell out of her mouth like a water fall.

I swipe the basket off the table as tears form in my tired eyes.

I shouldn't feel like this at my age.
