Room 99

By Phantasmagoria

The clock dings... 
                                  Its time...
 


As the rusted door knob turns, ever so slowly,
The strangers enter my colorless cave.
I tremble at the smell of their presence,
Cripple at the sight of their fictitious grins.
Biting my nails from their audible footsteps
Slowly creeping closer, and closer.

I know why they've come...

As one of them says "Now, this will only take a minute."
The other holds out a sickly blue cup.
My eyes darken, my brows lower.
For I know what's in that little blue container,
And its something I do not wish to intake.
Looking into my eyes, they frown in disappointment.

I wont go down without a fight...

Yet another strange one enters the room.
Grasping something behind his back,
"We don't want to do this, but you leave us no choice."
Says the tall stupid one in white.
As if I don't know what they're going to do.
He pulls out the rope, which scarred my wrists once before.

AHHHHHH!!!

I ragefully jump on top of his back,
Scratching and biting like an angered cat.
Grabbing hold of my arms, they pull me to the floor,
And carelessly drag me to the bed.
I use all of my strength, for I cant let them win.
But its three against one; I don't have a chance.

My body is weak, Oh so weak...

 I SCREAM for help as they restrict my movement.
As the syringe pierces in, I know I have lost.
These sick intruders have beat me again.
I only dream of escaping this dungeon.
They open my mouth and pull out the blue cup.
And forcefully shove those pills down my throat.



They use those drugs for one reason, and one reason only...   

        To control our inner thoughts...

                                        Our entire world...
