I wake up.
I feel a sting in the back of my head.
I think the surgery is over.
I want to open my eyes.
I can't.
I hear voices.
I hear them talking to me.
I hear them talking about me.
I hear my mom sobbing.

I want to scream.
I want to let them know that I am okay.
I just can't.

I feel like I am caged in my own body.
I am frozen.
