Falling asleep

And waking up

All she could hear was

Tick. Tack. Tock.

The clock counted;

Seconds. Minutes.

And hours.

She counted;

Day. Weeks. Months.

And years.

Nothing was seen

In the blinding light.

White and soft

was everything her

world consisted of.

Captured by men

In grey uniforms.

Stabbed with a weapon.

Injected with poison.

Tick. Tack. Tock.

Time is passing.

Tick. Tack. Tock.

Soon this will be over.

Tick. Tack. Tock.

Her time is up.
