Escape

The time has finally come.

I've been here for 3 days.

I can't take it any longer,

and it's time for an escape.

Night has fallen in ponyville,

The nurses vacated my room.

I'll sneak out behind their backs,

and leave this sanitary tomb.

I silently get out of bed,

and skulk across the floor,

I check to make sure my roommates asleep,

then I quietly open the door.

I see the nurse turning the corner

at the other end of the hall.

I close the door and duck back in

and press my back against the wall.

I hear her enter the room

right across from mine,

and I slip out silently

as the door closes behind.

The hallways are brightly lit,

And there's nowhere to hide.

As I sneak past a door,

I can hear voices coming from inside.

"We could tell him that we were wrong and it's fatal."

"What good would that do me?"

"We lie and say he's going to die,

then kill him in his sleep."

I paused to listen for a second

then continued in silent haste.

though I was still curious

who they were wanting to put to waste.

I would escape through the window.

At least I would give it a try.

I managed to squeeze through,

and took off into the sky.

I looked behind me at the building

that I had just exfiltrated

I thought "who were they talking about?"

And decided to find information related.
