I’m staring at the TV
It’s big and white like that ghost inside my head.
There’s no sound
Just hard silence
       I feel like my ears are bleeding
And that little girl inside me in screaming
                                     And my eyes are on fire
                                              And I want to go home.

Hours
         Days
               Weeks
                        Months
How long have I been here?
Where did you put my time?
Don’t take what isn’t yours
It’s mine
Mine
I am the ruler of this land
         Of this tower
                   Of this bench in the park
