It’s been a while
since I heard my heartbeat.
A lifetime ago
since I’ve walked with my feet.
I’ve entered a room with a rotten smell,
I’ve let myself get accustomed
I could no longer tell.

Whatever I’ve done
I always felt guilty
For living
For dreaming
For loving my being

But I’m in love again
to a person I’ve always known
A person who never stopped waiting
A person who does not ask for a throne.

Even though, I’m stripped of my identity,
Gambled my soul
fell to insanity.
Survivor not because I finally feel well
But my eyes open
I’m free from spell.
