I finally feel human.
It's been weeks since I've felt myself,
Ages since I could stand on my own
Without you as my crutch.

I quickly learned when you arrived
That standing was made easier
When you were around.
But as suddenly as you came
You left me all on my own.

And when I tried to stand
I fell right back over.
Wondering where my legs had gone.
You'd stolen an essential part of me.

It's been ages since I've stood,
But now I'm on my feet again.
I don't need you to hold me up,
I don't need anyone but me.

Once again I'm full human,
Not one single piece missing.
Maybe still a little broken,
But that's just aging, and life.
