White. Poem by Teg Muk

White..





Thump..





All I saw was white..





Thump thump..





White is all I've seen for as long as I can remember.


White walls,


White floors,


White blankets,


White, white, white, white, WHITE!





Thump..





Someone comes into my white room.


They prick my arm with a needle.


I'm not scared, They do this every time they come in.





Thump.





Wait, this time it's different..





Thump thump..


Thump thump..





A cold liquid shoots out of the needle.. What is this?


My body is freezing,


I'm panicking!


I don't know whats happening!


I struggel to pull the needle out but They hold me down.





Thump..



I'm too weak to fight.


They blind me with a white light- Wait..


They arn't making the light..



Thump..



My eyes are closed but I can feel it infront of me,


I can almost touch it.


It's calling to me, singing almost


'Come wiiiith ussss... Nooo more whiiiite..' It whispers.


'Noo mooooorreee...'


Thump, Thump..



They are still holding me down but I don't struggle.


I reach out with my mind to touch the brilliant white light.





Thump..





Almost there.





Thump..



I've got it!





Thump, thump.


Thump, thump.



The white surrounds me, bathing me in shocking white light.


My body doesn't feel cold anymore.


It's numb.


So much pleasure out of nothing.


I want MORE.





Thump thump thump thump! !



I reach out again with my mind,


The light geting brighter every second,


The numbness more tranquilizing,


It feels so good!



Thump, Th-Thump..



Yes!


I've harnessed the white in my mental grasp-





Thump..!




-and I'm never letting it go!


Never!





THUMP!
