i sit here in pain and smile and my eyes ache and my head pounds and my mouth is dry

my eyelids droop like heavy sand bags, itchy and sore

the bags beneath darken like an apple bruising under pressure

my eyes are wide open as my jaw cracks in a large gape

the screen casts bright light onto my face, glinting off of my glasses. how long have i been here? time? what is that? time no longer exists. i sit in the void

i think i should have been in bed a long time ago. but why?
