The past of me,
A stranger now
A faded memory
Her quiet voice
Her shaking hands
Her breath so hard to catch
But how did I grow
How did I change
How did I get
To this free place
The pills perhaps
The challenges faced
The new life I was forced to make
I’m not sure how –
Don’t think I care
Just glad I got to here from there
Finally the real me
Is free to stretch and breathe
So I rub my eyes
Stand up and yawn
From these 19 years of sleep
