Sometimes the smell is so distinct That same smell of the tubes That I breathed through That gave me the breath that I didn’t even have The memories come back in waves Making me stumble throughout my day As if oxygen was meant to be tasted this way Through plastic holes, from a machine It was so strange The ominous, vague feeling Almost as if I knew that this was foreign to me But I could not remember what it felt without Without the thing that I imagined could be pushed too far Suffocating me But also the thing that I needed It teetered on being the instrument for my life or death It was so ..read more

When an individual suffers a traumatic injury to their brain, their personality typically changes too, and at its most severe turn those closest to them into full-time carers. If a parent is no longer the same person, where does that leave the rest of the family? If a grown child needs full-time care, how does that upset the life that so many of their loved ones might have expected? What if, after brain injury, the support that is ne ..read more

Rock Waves   Like where my grandparents lived The waves go crashing on the rocks The cliffs are grey and red Childrens’ voices ring out clear As the gulls go ghosting by The sea feels colder than the blue it looks Next stop Antarctica helps In summer ice cream still helps To calm flustered bodies A ship sails serenely by As the seal struggles to grip On the headland camera shutters click Capturing the moment.   Alan P. Brain Injury Survivor, London Silverliner, Poet   If you would like to see your brain injury poetry on our blog please email us at admin@thesilverlining.org.uk. T ..read more
