STRANGER As I am welcomed by a stranger I feel a stranger within me My body and soul aches with pain This is not a place where I intended to be I am surrounded by bars Am I in prison? What have I done Imprisonment within myself isn't much fun Will I ever find that smile I once had I'm emotionally and physically shattered But suddenly see the strength within me I am strong and I must go on So here I take refuge I must rest and find myself again Because I'm number one a VIP, very important person The sadness I feel will dissipate And as I live here I will gain support From workers that care for my well-being I've gone this far, and I'll keep on going So as I rest and find my identity I'll know that I'm top priority I may be meek as a mouse But I'll find peace at Elizabeth Hoffman house!
