i can't get up .
my legs start to weigh 1000 pounds
my arms become useless
and the more i lay there
the more it makes sense to stay there.
my body begins to shiver in
100 degree weather .
in a room of absolute silence
a white noise rings
throughout my mind
like i'm lying in a church bell tower.
silently, tears run down my face
as i am trapped
inside my mind
i convince myself i can get up
any time i want.
