This is a fictitious poem written by an individual who sustained a closed head injury.

************************************************************************************************************

Everyone thinks bad things happen to everyone else,

but one day I awoke and wasn’t quite myself.

I’m one of those people who would never believe

that this would be the reflection starring back at me.

I still look the same, but I am broken inside.

Tragedy has no favorites, you can never run and hide.

I’ve tried to suppress these secrets when I am out,

but whenever I speak I just want to pout.

I try to remember the words and names,

but whenever I can’t my accident is the blame.

The lessons I’ve learned from taking this fall.

Don’t take life for granted, savor it all.
