What happened to my dreams of great achievement,
the clear path and direction my future would follow

What happened to my inquisitive nature and brainstorming ideas, 
inventing a new chapter of my life every day

What happened to my empathy for those around me
knowing that I am destined for a special purpose

What happened to my friendly disposition
and care for my fellow man 

What happened to my feeling of completeness, 
of being fulfilled and happy in love

What happened to being in control of my destiny, 
knowing where I’m going in life…
