TICKtock
TICKtock
That's all you hear. The echos never stop, never cease. You like them. You like them..
TICKtock
You see white- its all that exists now. White, blinding lights, and pills. So many pills. Little white pills. Everything. White. You know it should scare you, but it doesn't. Nothing does.
TICKtock
The only contrast to the stifling light is a clock. A clock.
TICKtock
You're numb. And you don't know why.
TICKtock
Another day. Or year. Or second.
TICKtock
Routine, routine, routine.
TICKtock
You hate the little white pills. You hate them. You hate who gives them to you. You hate the silence. You hate the white. You HATE the white.
TICKtock
One day, (or year, or second) there is a routine change.
TICKtock
A visitor. For you. They're color. Not bright white. But you are.
TICKtock
They says they know you. You don't know them. You hate it. Not knowing. You hate them. Just like the little, tiny pills, only you can't hide this under the mattress.
TICKtock
They say they can fix things.
TICKtock
You don't care.
TICKtock
You pretend you care. Oh, you're such a good girl. You care, you're getting better. You're playing pretend. You don't care. No one cares. It's all white.
TICKtock
They come back. They say they can get you away. Away from this place. They can get you out. And they will. You know they're serious, because you're not used to anything from them.
TICKtock
The white ones take then away. You don't see it. You don't see anything.
TICKtock
They don't come anymore.
TICKtock
You don't care. Now they're blinding white, just like everything else.
TICKtock
You love the pills.
TICKtock
You love the silence.
TICKtock
You love the white. You LOVE the white.
