I never knew I was imprisoned
until I tasted freedom
I never knew I was tortured
until I felt no pain
I never knew I wasn't insane
until I experienced sanity
I never knew I was alive
until I didn't want death
I didn't know I was happy
until I no longer felt sad
I didn't know I was strong
until I no longer felt weak
I didn't know I was capable
until I no longer felt useless
I didn't know I was me
until there was no you
