I don’t want surgery
I don’t want a huge ugly vein running up my arm
I don’t want tubes sticking out of my chest
I don’t want needles
I don’t want to be kept alive by a machine
I don’t want any of it
I want a normal life
I want to be well
I want to go to sleep and wake up from this bad bad dream
I want to be someone else
I don’t want to be me
