my legs were pegs I had to lug around. my shoes were thick blocks of wood and everyone looked at me
everyone saw me
like I was there but I was only a poster of the guy
that guy who tried to jump off his apartment building and landed on an awning and broke his legs so badly he had to amputate them
I'd never get to wear the nice shiny shoes like the cool kids did. I was an ugly disease
and I spent every day in the white box hating that awning. it didn't save me. it just kept me from the death that would have.
