Poem: Goodbye to me
The me that I knew
It is time to discover
The me that is new

Goodbye to the stars
Shooting through my mind
Which turned into fire
Smouldering embers left behind

Goodbye to the paranoia
Terror, fear, suspicious thought
To the disappointment, emptiness
When it all comes down to naught

No longer will I be
The belle of every ball
Or the sobbing heap of loneliness
At the end of my fall

The drugs have started working
My thoughts are slowing down
I welcome the relief
But I’m scared that I may drown.

As I start on my new journey
I wonder who I’ll be
I wonder how much will be left
Of little old me?...
