as you look through this poem you see the first 5 lines spell faith. cause all of us will get better just have faith in yourself.

Bumped in Life
bumped again where to go?
bumped get reconnected with life!
bumped again till sucess is won
for you and me!
survial means meeting the bumps head on in life!
with all the bumps in the road ahead us to the road of recovery!

this poems points out the hard time a brain injury person goes through. we are a rare breed of person. with each success is a mild stone for us. for we have to relearn everything we knew as a kid.

BEING ALONE
BEING ALONE WITHOUT SAFTEY!
BEING ALONE WITHOUT LOVE!
BEING ALONE WITH OUT YOU!
WHEN WILL YOU NOT LET ME BE ALONE?
BEING ALONE I NEED THEE TO BE WHOLE!
TO NOT BE ALONE IN A HOUSE THAT IS FULL!
BEING IN A HOUSE ALONE WITH NO LOVE IS LIKE DROWNING WITH OUT A BOAT TO SAVE THEE!
