Knowing it is my only chance to escape, I forcefully open the forbidden door.
Welcomed by a chilling breeze and quiet darkness, I charge ahead.
Raising my gaze, thousands of stars glimmer on a pitch black canvas.
I am free.
I am one with the universe.
I am no longer theirs.
I am my own.
But they have noticed and are coming after me.
They now know...that I know...what it is to be free.
In the darkness, I hope to hide.
Then hands latch onto my shoulders like talons.
I am caught.
I am dragged.
Back to the white room I go.
Strapped back into the cold metal chair.
They blend in with the white walls, these masked men.
The door closes slowly on the world I just met.
I knew it was there.
But why did they not want me to know?
A wide tube goes down.
It scrapes my taste buds and catches on the linings of my throat.
I taste my own blood as the tube hits the floor of my stomach.
A warm thick liquid flows down this visceral vessel.
It will make me forget what I have just come to know.
I was so close.

Yet another dream, taking me to a space I so desperately seek.
A place I am no longer force fed.
Somewhere free from here.
Free from me.
