So now I sit and wait

It is not just my thoughts that I am left with but this

Dark

Curling creature sitting beside me

Uttering my deepest secrets. 

Here I sit and wait, for my time

For the right time

How will I know? It is too dark. 

A light in the hall

Voices in my ear

Screaming next door

This is not what I wanted. 

Death, death, death is what I wanted. 

Do you think this is helping? 

How can I be saved when the people here are worse than me

Damaged,

Deranged, and crazed?

Please, just get me out

I am frozen enough.
