I laid down in bed that night, contemplating it all
I still don't know what it was that happened to me
Was it some higher power reaching out a helping hand, rejuvenating me, giving me another chance?
Was it my imagination? A dream?
I could never say for sure
All I know is that, in some sense, I was helped
I'd gained a new sense of self-assurance, of purpose
The world felt wonderful again, full of life and energy
I felt alive
I'd grown
Evolved
And I'm grateful
