Maybe so...

Today,someone told me
that they thought
I was finally getting better.
?

Just because
I've been gone for the last year?
Gone, but not really.
I know, I know,
I stood before you in my flesh
but my presence was vacant.

Vacant?

Just because I looked
without seeing,
or listened without hearing?
Or maybe cause I forgot
what I was saying most of the time,
or wondered why I was
bothering with speech at all?

Come on.
What makes you think anything was wrong with me?????
