Today I sit leaning back in the recliner
Dreaming of strength
Remembering better times
And seeing myself through the eyes of others.
In my mind I see me young and slim,
Independent, intelligent, indestructible.
Was I living in my mind even then?
Was it ever true? Was I shy,
Needy and broken?
Did I accomplish, did I grow,
Or did I hide inside of myself?
Ah, well, that is the past,
This is now and now is the time
I am standing strong and tall
In my mind.
