Waking Up Poem by Tiffny Rhodius

I struggled to get out of bed today.
I struggled to remember my name.
This mania is driving me insane.

When will I be normal again?
Normalcy is not so foreign with you next to me
Somehow the insanity flees
Won’t you please stay with me?

I promise not to beg
Instead I’ll humbly plead.
Take this memory
And help me up
Only you can set me free.

My feet can feel a tingle
My arms are slightly free
The cotton prison that holds me
Is embedded around me
Slowly breath returns to me.

I struggled to get out of bed today.
I struggled and remembered
You were right here next to me
And it was all a dream.
