”how are you feeling?” that question hovered above me how am i feeling i drown out my thoughts with the sounds of my hospital room the beep beep beep echoes through me as i try to blink how am i feeling “i don't really, uh, know i guess“ the words trailed off being quietly drowned out by the beep beep beep “says you tried to hang yourself“ i twitched at the sound of that the nurse's voice, mechanical almost but a tinge of concern slipped through beep beep beep “yeah“ my mouth dry and chest hollow i couldn't feel anything yet the tears came a violent wave spilling from my eyes i could feel her staring possibly empathizing or spacing out lifting my arm to wipe the tears i felt the IV move in my vein i felt nauseous watching the tube faintly move as i gently flexed my arm “do you need anything? water? crackers?“ beep beep beep “no, thank you“ deja vu i sit up body aches eyes shift down beep beep beep feeling my neck where the rope had constricted an indentation feeling the rope's texture, i began to feel immaculately empty like a sterile needle like an operating room like the pauses between the beep beep beep “i would like some water please“
