As I lie here, exhausted from nothing, I feel more useless than ever. Yet somehow I feel more like a burden when I move. They all say, “Get up.” But I am useless to them. They say I am good but only when I’m helping. Again and again, “Get up.” They don’t know that I am nothing. Nothing when I am lying down. Nothing even when I stand. Just lazy. I know I could be more yet I’m not. I could try but I don’t. Even my family says, “Get up!” But I don’t. Because what will happen if I do? I could hurt someone. I could see something that hurts me. I could show everyone how pitiful I am. I can’t get up. I can’t leave. This is my forever prison and maybe it’s safer this way. If you really saw me, you would see how disgusting I am. How depressing. How hideous. So I will rest, while you scream to no use “GET UP.”
