Staring

I open my eyes again. 

I am still staring at that picture. 

My nose itches. I look at my hand, and try to lift it. 

Nothing happens. Again.

I know the result of my attempts at doing anything-nothing. Everything is futile. 

I cannot move anything but my eyes anymore. 

I wonder what I would be doing right now if I could move. 

My eyelids feel heavy, and start to droop. I give in and close them.
