Waking up
I wake up on a metallic bed
Covered in wool sheets that itch my legs.
My head throbs,
But it's nothing compared
To the pain that is screaming from my wrists.
"Where am I?"
I try to remember.
I get up and take a look around
Only to find myself lying in a bleak room
With grey walls.
I lay back down.
My memory is fuzzy,
Maybe even erased.
By myself of course,
So I wouldn't have to remember what happened.
I'm used to repressing bad thoughts,
I'm used to grasping every bit of remorse
And shoving it to the back of my mind,
So I can try to hide from it.
But finally the terrifying thoughts hit my brain
And rattle me from the inside out.
I remember what happened now.
