Coma
The doctor had a worried face.
He asked me how I let it get this bad, and how I could be so stupid.
I really can’t remember…
I tried to tell him I was sorry, but I don’t think I could speak.
He says I should sit.
Sitting hurts my soul.
He says I should lie down.
Lying down is scary.
Somehow I’m more dizzy lying down too.
Just lie down and sleep…
It feels like I’m slipping into a coma.
So at first I fought my exhaustion.
Until a coma started to not sound that bad.
Maybe I would wake up a few months from now.
And everything would be ok.
But no, I was going to wake up tomorrow.
And the nightmare will start.
