Head Injury

A cycle of poems «Traumatology»

In the realm where darkness lurked,
A mind once vibrant, now disrupted.
A head injury's cruel decree,
A heavy weight, for all to see.

The lights flicker, memories sway,
Confusion's grip, it holds sway.
The world tilts, a dizzying dance,
Balance lost, a cruel trance.

Head injury, an unseen scar,
A battle within, a silent war.
From the outside, they cannot see,
The turmoil that rages deep inside me.

Cognitive fog, a lingering haze,
Thoughts scattered, in a distant maze.
Words stumble, meaning lost,
Communication's bridge, now crossed.

The lights flicker, memories sway,
Confusion's grip, it holds sway.
The world tilts, a dizzying dance,
Balance lost, a cruel trance.

Head injury, an unseen scar,
A battle within, a silent war.
From the outside, they cannot see,
The turmoil that rages deep inside me.

Sleep evades, elusive and rare,
Haunted by dreams, beyond compare.
Headaches pierce, an unrelenting ache,
A constant reminder of pain's wake.

Emotions surge, unpredictable and raw,
Laughter flips to tears, without cause.
Anxiety's claws, they grip so tight,
Fear's shadow looms, in the darkest night.

The lights flicker, memories sway,
Confusion's grip, it holds sway.
The world tilts, a dizzying dance,
Balance lost, a cruel trance.

Head injury, an unseen scar,
A battle within, a silent war.
From the outside, they cannot see,
The turmoil that rages deep inside me.

But amidst the darkness, a flicker of hope,
A warrior's spirit, refusing to slope.
With resilience as my guide,
I fight this battle, side by side.

For the head injury I endure,
A strength within me, I can't ignore.
Acceptance's grace, a gentle hand,
Empowers me to reclaim my land.
