In a room

by: Lexi Hunt

I didn’t sit alone, someone else was present too

One, two, three

My mind was split

Four, five, six

Two sides, two stories, almost two people

Seven, eight, nine

I couldn’t take it anymore

Ten, eleven, twelve

The countless fights between myself

Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen

But fifteen is all it took

I lay peacefully down

And wake up in a room

Not a familiar place

No, i was hooked up to a machine

Not knowing what was happening

The machines numbers increased

As my heart pumped

faster

faster

faster
