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 can feel the pain in my head get worse.

I wish I could ask for painkillers.

I feel her hands on mine.

I want to stroke her hand with my finger.

I want to comfort her.

I can't move.

I am parallyzed.

I want to scream.

I want to let them know that I am okay.

I just can't.

I lie here.

I feel like I am caged in my own body.

I am frozen.

Unable to do anything at all.
