The Scars That Made Me

Amnesia

Woke up to walls covered in white,

An annoying sound continuously beeping.

'Ugh! If only I could reach out to turn it off!'

My fingers, I couldn't even move.

My head was pounding,

The pressure in it was getting ready to explode.

'Where am I?'

'Why am I here?'

The real question was, 'Who am I?'

Wires were attached to my chest, my forehead

I was getting ready to scream....

Yet all that came out was nothing.

It was overwhelming, 

This unknown feeling, I am not sure  if I experienced.

My eyes were frantically looking for an escape,

It would be useless since I couldn't move.

People in blue clothes, surrounded me

 along with strangers I don't even know.

They asked me a question, that I couldn't even respond to.

So I used my eyes to silently beg them to let me go.

Then they're gone.

A woman in white comes to give me a drink with pills perhaps.

Her smile is bright, yet her eyes tell me a whole different story.

Drinking what she gave me and then I followed the darkness.

(A few months later)

It's already the 15th of February

And it's pretty scary...

Seeing happy faces of people I don't even know,

to come and greet me.

They know me as Elizabeth Chandler,

yet I see a whole different person.

Someone who is dressed with scars all over her body.

I want to know the story,

The whole story of who I once was and what I went through.

Opening, a red and black flower designed diary read:

'The Tragic Life of Eliza"

Only to close it .

I think it's better this way.

To get rid of the negative past and look towards a bright future.

This was my time to start over,

And for once I was thankful for something that occurred to me,

To help me grow and better understand myself,

Amnesia.

A/N: Not gonna lie, this was a tough one to write, since I never experienced it before. My inspiration for this poem was by 5 Seconds of Summer, their song, "Amnesia" just hit me right in the feels! And another fun fact about this is Elizabeth's last name, Chandler. Of course, you guessed it! It was from FRIENDS, lol. But stay updated by following me and/or adding this to your library. 

Love,
