sometimes i feel like i havent lived a full day in my life.
real life is when we can feel it
we feel it in laughter, we feel it in love
but there are days when we go numb
and we can go numb for days
i have been numb for 20 years.
because i look back to how i was years ago
and who i was, its not even comprehensible
i dont know that person
she didn't think for herself
she wouldnt know life if it hit her in the face
but then people come and make you see life
for me it was the first time
i felt what it was like to be here
not just sit there and let it not effect me
i found life in them
i found it our laughter
i found it in our conversation
it was the first time life ever touched me
its hard waking up after being in a coma 20 years
we are uncertain of what choices to make
of who to trust,
of who to be
we make mistakes
we take wrong turns
we listen to the wrong people
but eventually we catch on
and when we do, we are most greatful for that person
they woke us up and we no longer felt numb.
