Stroke

I’m laying here not knowing who I am
Bleeding drains my soul 
Lost my way of who I am
Drifting eyes looking up
Crazy glazed 
Closing my mind 
Waving like a prom queen

Falling from grace from my body
I don’t know where I’m going
Frantic eyes drifting in air
Reaching out 
Grabbing hold 
Reaching out
Grabbing hold
Grabbing hold

Free falling what life held
Only to see nothing in front of me
Going home someday 
To say hello to all my relatives 
Going home someday
