I feel good today- you didn't notice.

I had a spring to my step- all mine. All smiles

All "thank yous" and "have a nice day"

All clearheaded and will it stay

I'm not talking about you as you-my reader. 

Just you who saw me walking around feeling human

And had no idea that all though I was in a hospital briefly

I was feeling like I was playing a game

Where I was winning.

I stopped at the piano and almost spent time with the baby grand

But the parking fees were adding up, and an hour's worth of change was all I had at hand.

But I'll be back some other day.

And then the nausea returned, 

You wouldn't have noticed- you who don't know me

For the brainfoggy girl looked like she was back

But not for good. 

She's waiting in my bed, she is. She's in my backpack, full of meds,

Or on my couch- where I feel like I've lived.

But I don't care.

Look at me... just look at me smile.

I'll deal with her in a while.
