Light enters, clouds fill with color, birds chirp
awaken from your deep slumber
its time to begin the day anew.
Consciousness pervades the mind,
cognitive processes begin
thoughts begin to tumble
as blurry eyes peer around you
a slight deception from your dreams.
this is not the big white house you dreamt
this is the prison that had held you
dank and dirt, deterioration of the senses
how will your mind survive...
boredom and monotony rule the day
but wait, can it be?
Yes, sweet freedom at last!
but what to do, who to be and where to go
years have past and lives have changed
the past is gone and so has your former life
friends no longer remember,
family has spent so long trying not to care
that they somehow almost erased your memory
a black smudge on the wall of the mind
thats all you are, how did this happen
lost, confusion, inner turmoil
how did one decision, one moment of explosion
trigger this decimation of your memory?
how to be human, how to be on your own
basically how to be free.
but freedom is not all its cracked up to be... is it?
