I find it hard to accept
The reality of my situation
Sat here alone
Smoking **** &
Playing PlayStation

I try to stay hopeful
I want to live life to the full
Sat here alone
Downing ***** &
Red bull

Maybe it's my honesty
Maybe I have bad breath
Sat here alone
Watching **** &
Smoking crystal ****

If all of you could see
The person I used to be
The one not alone
The one without a brain injury

Now I'm an alien
A mind of science fiction
Or maybe I'm just a human
Who refuses to admit his
ADDICTION
Lol.

You say a songs not a song,
Unless it tells a good story,
So here goes my tale,
Its full of misery, and it's gory.

It began in a time, not so long ago
When I was happy, I was normal,
I loved music, I loved the radio

But then on a night out, with my wife and a friend,
A guy attacked me, hell bent,
On bringing my life to an end

Blood poured from my eyes, nose, and my ears,
People staring silently, People to afraid, to interfere

As my mum sat waiting, she takes time to say a prayer,
She begs God for mercy, she begs him for an end, to this nightmare

He looks so peaceful, sleeping,
He's unaware,
His eyes  shut tightly, His mind must be elsewhere

As time drifted by, His family try to stay optimistic,
But their hopes he'll pull through,
Are starting to look a bit unrealistic

The doctors tried everything,
They tried anything for a reaction,
But as hope faded, His eyes open slowly , he was back in action

His voice crooked weakly, His gaze was distant,
He was confused, he was angry,
He reminded me of when he was an enfant

Seven days later, the police now enter,
Showing me pictures, asking if I remember ?
NO !! I SCREAMED,
I was out on a ******, now get out there and find the offender !

Why doesn't anyone listen to a word I have to say ?
You say you do, you say Liam, Its OK, But that's not enough, thats not OK, you're just saying that,
SO I GO AWAY !

As you can tell,
that's all now history,
The pain, the depression,
the whole Brain Injury,
But why? I'm home,
All on my own,
To me, remains a MYSTERY.
This is how I feel.

SOME FOLK THINK THERE CLEVER
SOME FOLK THINK THEY KNOW
ITS THE QUESTIONS WE ANSWER
IT'S THE EMOTIONS WE SHOW

A QUESTION FOR EVERYONE ?
ADMIT YOU DONT KNOW !
THEN YOU HAVE YOUR ANSWER
ONLY THEN YOU CAN START TO GROW

GOD LOOKED DOWN THE OTHER DAY
JUST TO HAVE A LOOK
HOPEFUL OF LIVE AND HAPPINESS
SHOCKED HIS PEOPLE HAVE MISTOOK

I THINK I UNDERSTAND GOD NOW
I UNDERSTAND WHAT HE EXPECTS
HE DOESN'T NEED A STATUE OR A SHRINE
ALL HE ASKS IS FOR IS OUR RESPECT
Life, money, eyn sof

I WAKE UP REALLY EARLY
REALLY EARLY IN THE MORNING
I DO IT TO IMPROVE
IMPROVE WHILST YOUR STILL SNORING

LIFE HAS TAUGHT ME
ITS OK TO BE ALONE
STAY STRONG
STAY FOCUSED
STAY IN YOUR OWN ZONE

SHOW PEOPLE ITS YOUR KINGDOM
SHOW PEOPLE ITS YOUR OWN
SHOW PEOPLE IT'S YOU
WHO SITS ON IT'S THROWN
This was a song. Now it's a poem.

YOU SPOT THE LIGHT
FROM A DISTANT STAR
ITS LIGHT BARELY VISIBLE
DELAYED BY A DISTANCE
A DISTANCE SO FAR

TAKE A MOMENT TO IMAGINE
HOW MUCH HAS HAPPENED
SINCE THAT STARS FINAL DAY
TAKE A MOMENT TO IMAGINE
WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN
IF WE DON'T CHANGE OUR WAY

— The End —
