For the first time in ages

For the first time in ages-
I can hold a converstaion about how I'm feeling,
I can concentrate on things like reading a book,
I can even remember what I did yesterday.

For the first time in ages-
I'm not at all tired, I have energy-
I can do things like going for walks
Without being exhausted afterwards.

For the first time in ages-
I can think clearly,
I know exactly what I'm doing
And I understand what people are talking about.

For the first time in ages-
I feel as if I'm a real person like I'm not a zombie
And now that I've got all this back-
I'm not going to let it get taken away from me ever again.
