Captivity
Another week passed.
Watching, waiting, dreading.
It was meal time.
The sound of the food trolleys.
Made all of our heads spin.
Our stomachs knot.
Supervised eating.
Six times a day.
Breakfast.
Morning Tea.
Lunch.
Afternoon tea.
Dinner.
Supper.
These were the times.
We thought of escape.
We were spiteful and deceitful.
We wanted to take vengeance.
We wanted our lives back.
I wanted to go home.
