hands on my face

lights in my eyes

yet i- sleep

the drugs too strong

i can't fight

just a little- longer

no pattern

i

dont

know

what

to

say

the medicine.

it rips me out of

consciousness

what little i have-

left behind.

a sandpit.

sinking and drowning.

an ocean

screaming and flashing.

warm golden sunshine-

then finally- nothingness

awake to unconscious.

-waking up confused.
