The Madness in the EmptinessA Poem by TaraI opened my eyes and saw white I was stood there In my night clothes Alone I turned around All I could see was white Nothing else No end No beginning The only sound Was my breathing Frantically I whimpered I wanted to run But where? I wanted to curl up in a ball But why? I wanted to call out Who else was out there? Was this Death? No, was this Hell? It was different to what I expected A flash of red NO Two red eyes A shadow flit past Was it a shadow? Breathing on my neck No one there Echoing laughter From every direction I screamed I tried to sit up But the holds on the bed Held me down I saw two concerned eyes I blabbered on about what I saw The man in white shook his head He turned to his colleague The other sighed And pulled out a needle It pierced my skin I didn't care They needed to listen! There was something out there Out in the white The red eyes The eyes followed me here The men walked out Looking at a clipboard I screamed for them to stop They ignored me And left me in the room I felt sleep suddenly come over me I opened my eyes and saw white
