I awake from my slumber numbers of sleep count three. Woken every 15 minutes with a blinding white light that burns bright right into the eyes many time before and after midnight. Alas breakfast is served. Starving from medication because of hallucinations, I take my seat with much hesitation. I feel like I am suffocating for around me are the mentally insane in pain. As the walls are steel and white, not a speck of colour except the blood from sutures, from those who thought they had no futures. Temperature rating of sixteen degrees C. all do not feel free. Involuntary treatment order restricts them from seeing the sea.
Breakfast arrives putrid so much so that cupid would cry. It makes us want to die. Banana's for I, with an allergy that makes my throat seize. As well as some brown goo that tastes like poo. Poo which is no so easy to do, within the PICU. Because the toilet is metal without a seat. I wish I didn't eat yesterday's meat. The guards referred to as SPECIALS watched as I went to the toilet and showered.
Traumatised and desensitized, PTSD' I couldn't bare to see my brother during his disaster. Because the white walls, blinding white light that ignites my soul. Will forever haunt. Awe awaits amid awful all.
About the Creator
Jack Kirwood
Is freedom?
Reality meeting itself on its own terms, seeing through the looking glass, mirroring itself.
Absurdity, realism, wondrously weird and INSANE.
