PERSONALLY

They go where I go,
they know who I am
personally,
sometimes they check to see
if I'm paying attention,

they are the old adage,
one strong, the other silent,
a bit of pain,
and a little confusion,

star struck at times but
amnesia doesn't remember,
waking to IV's, muscle pain,
and familiar faces,

pain and confusion
always there, faithful
companions even
after family and
the doctors are gone.

Reviews

[John Alexander McFadyen]

This reads as one who has a serious illness/disorder and giving meaning and personality to the emotions makes them so omnipresent to the reader. Like spectres they lurk in the shadows awaiting you alone.
