TBI Memoir [Continued]<br />

Gone.<br />

My career,<br />

My ambitions…<br />

Shriveled.<br />

And if these are gone, what remains?<br />

Remove your goals and dreams,<br />

Now what defi nes you?<br />

When you cannot think, you have no choice but to feel:<br />

Feel the love in your soulmate’s eyes<br />

when you meet two weeks after injury.<br />

Feel the desperation in your mother’s voice<br />

when your sister tips over the edge.<br />

Feel the depressive pangs <strong>of</strong> hopelessness<br />

interspersed with thoughtless optimism.<br />

And, slowly<br />

Feel<br />

Thoughts<br />

return<br />

to Normal. •<br />
