My Friend Rita's Poem

My Friend Rita's Poem:

Recovering from a Brain Injury

I am exhausted but...

I can not sleep

My thoughts are here but...

I can not think clearly

My words are many but...

I can not speak

I can not see what you see but...

I am not blind

I can hear everything but...

I have to cover my ears

I get hungry but...

nothing tastes the same

I can stand still but...

I can not stop my world from spinning

I feel so all alone but...

I am surrounded by LOVE
