Journey On The Edge I
When I was four, I hadn't thought life a bore,
As I was free to play, until one very day,
I learned someday we all go out that door,
One by one, "It was fun," I know I'll say.
When I was 6, I was reminded of this crucifix:
As I was trying to sleep, I began to seize,
It was how I became self-aware I need a fix,
How taking a pill daily makes life a breeze.
When I was 8, I learned how to better create
A world of my own, safe in my chamber,
Until once again I fell into a seizure of hate,
I awoken to family holding me ever closer.
When I was 10, I was free of the disease,
No longer needed the pill for prevention.
I was bewildered by which brought me ease,
As I let run wild my suppressed imagination.
