The room is cold again.

My toes are rigidly rubbing under the duvet that cradles me,

the cotton at the bottom has frayed and the buttons are long forgotten,

I can't sleep.

"God gave us the gift of life; it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well." voiced Voltaire, many moons I missed ago...

I'm not generous though.

My head is hurting again.

The sound of noisy neighbours drones like my school life,

my eyes are bloodshot just waiting for a text,

my heart croaks not beats.

"God gave us the gift of life..."

Awkwardly: "Where's the receipt?"
