Brain/Brain Injury Poems
This is all about my brain injury from the ECT, Aneurysm, and Epilepsy. I have Haikus first and then other styles. Happy reading
I can't hold a thought
For as long as I need to
Memory is dead
Went for surgery
Needed some work on my head
Lacking great success
I can't be this way
I hate what others may see
Please recreate me
Can your brain tell me
How could joy and peace happen
with my dying brain
Had brain surgery
I wish I had all my brain
Had aneurysm
The answer I need
Recovery to my brain
Thinking may improve
I want my brain back
The strength I had once is gone
I am not myself
Now lets go onto the other styles of poetry. I like all sorts of rhyming patterns. I do have some ABCB (if you know what that means) but I think that is the easy way out :) So here here go
A long time since I lost it
And I so want it back
Do I dare ask for help
Have I lost track
Little does remain
I want my brain
Not much is left
Fragile mass of what is here
It once was so healthy
Now beyond repair
Little does remain
I want my brain
So I guess I just work
With the little in my head
It could have been worse
I could have been dead
All of this happened...a test??
Do I trust "The BEST"
My memory often fails
At what I need to know
I may try to tell a tale
With creative story my goal
Maybe place myself in a hole
So hard to do at times without my mind
Losing it has taken its toll
New ideas are hard to find
Caught up in a bind
I just think it would be best
To leave it all behind
Put my old brain to rest
With all my heart
A new brain I start
