Where am I?
What happened?
Why can’t I see?
Why can’t I feel?
Why am I laying in this bed?
I sense all of you around me...
I try to wake but nothing seems right
I’m trying so hard, putting up a fight
I remember one thing as I awoke for a second
Mumbling “I’m scared”
Then falling back into deep sleep
Why can’t I move or stay awake
How much time has passed for heavens sake
I’m so confused
I’m screaming for help
But no one can hear me
As my body is just a shell
From deep within I can do anything I want
But from your perspective I’m just a sleeping ***
One thing is....
I got to see my family and friends who have passed on
Telling me they love me, to hang in there
Stay strong
To everyone looking at me while I lay in this bed
Give me some time, I’m trying to escape this shell of my body
I’m still alive, not dead....
I wrote this from the perspective of someone who is in a coma. What they feel and or hear even though they can’t physically respond.
