Asylum

Blink Blink Blink Florescent lights Rolling past above Chaos around Just a blur from her eyes In focus the faces Coming close Flashlight checking For what? She hopes Blink Blink Blink Green scrubs Pale faces Red tainted White gloves Working quickly Will they rise victorious above? Staring up Into bright light Last scream echoing Through her mind "She's coding!" Darkness surrounds Blinking gone Black swirling to white Given up on the fight Darkness swirling to light Jolt Florescent light Burns her eyes "CLEAR" The Calling sounds Jolt "Save me" She screams Soft mumbles All they hear Tired of the fight She drifts off Into the darkness The darkest night Eyes open To bright light Bluring into clarity Slowly gaining sight Trying to move Struggle in vain Bound by burning wrists Struggle causing more pain Chain on bars Clang Clang Clang Focus focus Onto brown straps Binding the animal Soon to erupt Scratch scratch Teeth gritting cringe Before uttering Most un human scream Doctors Nurses Respond pale faced To these calls Only to find Red seeping past The indecency they tried to mask tangled Tourniquets Ripping loose Revealing Her own twisted noose
