When Anesthesia Fails

Prepare to go under the knife in the operation room doctor gives me sedatives so I will go to sleep sensing myself fall to unconscious but I am still awake see my surroundings but can not make a noise I can see the doctors I can hear the nurses try to speak to them but no one hears me watching them prepare for for the operation putting on their gloves and sharpening all their tools unheard screams are echoing in my mind I can not move paralyzed with sedatives strapped to this bed look into my eyes see the frighten person begging from inside tools of your trade watch the gleaming point headed toward my skin feeling the sting of the first incision as it breaks through the skin nerve impulses searing through my brain howls of pain echo through the core of me I can feel what you have done to me every cut dissecting sanity vessels fill with the new blood pumped into me stitch by stitch sense each one sewed into me I am awake can you not hear me scream trapped inside this coffin made of flesh hear your voice echoing deep in my mind look at me see the fear in my eyes when will this nightmare end gloved hands frolic through my chest trapped within my own self I must wake from this dream
