now that chemo's over
I can go back
to being me
now that the
radiation burns have
healed
now that the surgery
was successful
now that
that
inconvenient
messy
emotional
cranky
frightening thing
is over
I can go back
to being
me me me me me
but I already
am

This is something I felt also, when I was going through chemo for leukemia. You don't feel like yourself for a while.Sometimes I just felt like a patient or a science experiment. The drugs they gave me made me feel dulled and weak and sick. It wasn't till I got into a rest home before coming home, that I
could re-connect with myself or at least begin to. I listened to a country western station and all the songs talked about feelings and the floodgates opened and I cried and began to remember who I was.
