Facing the Beast by Jackie Bluu - HTML preview

facing the beast

IF

Then tell me why I rise to crickets

Instead of the typical cockadoodle of a jolly olly rooster on a

sunny countryside morning.

AM

Explain why I only hear my thoughts and

NOT the ricocheting laughter of pesky relatives or the loud

babbling of dear old friends.

ALONE

White noise from the small TV playing in the

background — while I stare blankly at the

walls — so that I can remember the sound of

human voices once I finally escape this white

room in this demented asylum.
