Too much light Poked, prodded, blown on A giant lab coat swirls around Nose hairs Cystic acne Scribbled gibberish on a white piece of paper I can clearly read the “Hmmms” and “Ahhhs” from their lips Pressure mounts up Tension and dull pain radiate No matter how much I try…the letters fade Black and crisp now gray and blurry Maybe not forever Maybe just one more year Darker and darker my world becomes Until one day its all gone Only noises remain In this bleak, bleak world
