A piece of me

Real and true

I see things

At times I try to hide

That fact from the outside

World

I hear things

At times I try to hide

That fact from the outside

World

I live in a world

Where things are transitory

Not always real

Or true

How does one function

When life sends you messages

That just are not

Real

and

true

One side effect of the brain trauma that I suffered is that I see and hear things that are not there,,,it is a scary thing to have your perceptions be false. I now take medication for the hallucinations and it seems to work well. It is also a hard thing to admit to people. I don't want to be treated like there is something wrong with me, but there is. For the most part the reception that I have received since I started being more open about my struggles has been positive. I cant take back the brain trauma nor can I go through life acting like it didn't have an effect on me, I tried that and it didn't work very well...............
