Fragments MAG
In the midst of mute and solo lived a strength I never knew,
Till I realized my lost voice echoed deep inside of you.
Like a lost child in a canyon screaming desperately for aid -
I was hungry, thirsty, lonely, frozen, empty and afraid.
In my early baby hopefulness, my voice sang sweet and clear,
But my lifesong only rang out for one very special year;
Then my real world shattered and the fragments fell within,
Till I couldn't find the places where my mind or I begin.
And my mind became a puzzle and its pieces didn't fit.
While I tried to find the world, I could make no sense of it.
In a convoluted tunnel, with an endless case of bends,
I kept searching for an opening but couldn't find the ends.
In my prison of dark silence I kept searching for some light,
But I rarely glimpsed a sunbeam in my world of endless night.
My bleak solitaire confinement had a life all of its own,
And its only real solace dwelt in keeping me alone.
As the world revolved around me, I lived deep within my mind,
While the people looked into my eyes believing I was blind;
And their voices filtered through the crazy hazy in my head,
And it made the people wonder whether I was deaf or dead
Till my empty silence cloaked me in an air of acrid doom,
And my life became a never-ending living breathing tomb
Until one gray day a single ray of sunshine pierced my night,
And my tomb began to fragment into glowing shards of light.
Free at last and me at last, I am prisoner no more;
And I never will return to the me I was before;
And my mind is fully open and my soul is fully free,
And I'll fully be the person I was always meant to be.
