Others tell me to shower.

I don't.

I can't.

I try to get up

My legs don't move.


I try again.

I don't move.


My hair sits a rats nest on my head.

The grease of it making my hair shine like the night stars.

I hate it.

Yet I still can't move.


I pull my hair up to conceal what I can't do.

That others do so easily.

They tell me to.

That it's easy.

It's not.


Others say I'm just lazy.

That I'm faking it.

I'm not.

I wish I could do what you do so easily.

But I can't.
