awake

Beeep beep beep.
That was the sound i awoke to.
over and over and over again.
a healthy pulse.
damn it.
my secret is out.
it has to be.
bandages, wires hooked to machines, needles in my skin, im being watched like a hawk.
what the hell am i supposed to do now?
do they think I was trying to kill myself?
are they going to send me to a mental institution?
The ones who think they understand are always the most naive.
“Why were you trying to kill yourself?”
the mock concern in this womans eyes made it near impossible to hold in my laughter.
“Who ever said I was trying to do a thing liek that?”
I threw in the most innocent smile I could make.
“Than what was your intention exactly?”
She asked looking a bit alarmed by my amused expression.
“Maybe I’m just crazy, take me away to the padded room.”
