I lay on my back and count the lights that pass above me
Needles in my arms, and a gown on my chest
"Hush now, we'll fix you up right quick" They tell me
Before I can say anything, the light begins to fade and I fall asleep
"Tell me how your pain is, your problems"
I cannot speak, and yet they continue to furiously write with their pens
"A pill for this, a drug for that, a twist a turn, and you'll be fine. More pricks, and pins for our delight. We will make you feel right"
My stomach turns numb, my eyes begin to drag, I no longer feel anything
The rhythm of beeps and bops, snaps and tops, a droning tone to grow deaf on.
"Go to sleep, and never forget, without us, you begin to regret"
