The Men In White Suits
By SleepingDead
Author's Note: My account was supposed to expire days ago, but it hasn't...yet.
Thought I would give it one last shot.
She just kept believing
Things would get better
The phone would ring
It would be someone
to help her
She's scared of the dark
That clouds her eyes
She's afraid of the voices
That endlessly crowd her mind
Her knuckles are bleeding
From breaking her windows
No escape
From this horror show
A door is in front of her
But she
feels they have locked her away
The doorknob falls off and clatters
in front of her
She has no choice but to stay
The shattered
windows beckon her
To the outside of her cage
The four walls
close in
She flies into a rage
She throws herself against
the door
Yet it does not free
She pounds on the walls
Until
her palms, too, begin to bleed
She hears footsteps up the stairs
They're coming for her again
She pushes everything against the door
Refusing to let them in
They're screaming at her now
She
hears sobbing too
One of their tricks, she knows
There's only
one thing to do
She looks at her room one last time
And
starts to run
She jumps at the shattered window
And for a moment,
she could finally see the sun
As she lay there on the ground
Bleeding and dying
Familiar faces crowd around her
Screaming
and crying
Memories flood back
As she takes her last breath
College, coming home, a sickness
Delusions, hallucinations, voices,
and death
In a way, she knew
What was happening in her
head
The men in white suits would've been there shortly
And
she would rather be dead
