Small Talks

A Poem by Rae
"

Who is he?

"
I groggily sit upright since my eyes have been open for half an hour
Dim light shines in the room, tinted by the grey translucent drapes gifted to me because of my disinterest in leaving the house
There's no point in grey drapes, when all the color is now faded
I look over to my alarm clock that's seated on the coffee table placed next to my bed

There's no time... 
''Should've paid your electricity bill,'' he says to me softly.
''I know,'' I replied.
''It's your fault,'' he whispers again, brushing my hair back.
''Yeah,'' I breathe out.

I plop backwards and stare at the ceiling
''You're not even going to try to get up?'' he asks, staring me in the eyes.
''Nope,'' I respond.
''Pitiful,'' he chuckles.
He chortles, and he giggles, and he snorts.

I blink slowly and breathe emptily-
''What day is it?'' I ask.
''Why does it matter to you, anyways?'' He laughs.
''I don't know.''
''You're not even going to get up, '' He murmurs with a grin.

Time passes and I'm still in the same position
''You have to pee,'' He snaps.
''It can wait,'' I respond.
''You're an idiot,'' He glares.
''Will it even hurt me?'' I respond hastily. ''Do you even care?'' I add.
''No,'' he chortles, ''I don't care; if it hurts you, good riddance''.
''Okay,'' I answer nonchalantly.

He floats delicately
Always in the same position
Hovering over me, watching my every movement
I've given up; I don't even care enough to control myself
So he controls me everyday

It's his fault that my family is worried
It's his fault that I got expelled from school
It's his fault that I crave the sweet escape of death
But I don't
Care
