Do you remember, when you were born…
Do you remember the feelings you felt,
Do you remember, when it was
that all you felt was numb and dead?
Do you remember the various hands
that caressed you as you bawled and bawled?
Do you remember the various arms
that gently rocked your woes away?
Do you remember long ago
when comfort could still be sought?
Do you remember how and when
you began feeling like an empty cell?
Do you remember how and when
nothing made further sense?
Do you remember how and when
you came to want nothing else,
but an escape from the painful confines
of this dreary cell
that you once knew as life!
