i cannot eat,
even as i starve,
but i cannot swollow!

i cannot sleep,
even as im about to pass out,
but i will not shut an eye!

i cannot sit,
even though my body sways,
but my legs are week!

i cannot breath,
even as im im turning blue,
but i cannot inhale!

i cannot think,
even though i try,
but i cannot remember!

i cannot get away,
even though i run,
but i stay there frozen!

i cannot hear,
even though i pay attenchion,
but cannot lisen!

i cannot see,
even though i look,
but cannnot recognize!

not matter what i do or try i cannot! ! !
