I look in the mirror and what do I see,
The reflection is somebody else this isn't me,
Six weeks ago I was happy and bright,
Then all of a sudden my life changed overnight.
I was struck with a virus on my brain,
Now I feel my life will never be the same,
I am dependant on help from family and friends,
All I want is this nightmare to end.
Dr's and people tell me this will take time,
But I am not a patient person I want it back a life that is mine!
I am writing this as a survivor of Encephalitis which is a virus which affects your brain. If anyone had told me I would have had this I could never have believed them. Ignorant to the illness my eyes were soon opened the affects it has on lots of peoples lives. Pray God I and any others suffering this recover fully x
