Rachel this so sad but true. Many times I've looked into the eyes of one with dementia or someone incapacitated by a stroke and have glimpsed the person they used to be. Sometimes they seem to be pleading for release. Thank you for being such a good nurse, so kind and compassionate. Good job on the poem.

Rachel. I think you know this one would have a great impact on me. I have those same feelings of being trapped. I have one thing to Thank God for I have my mind. This has brought me so many tears tonight as I read it. Not only has it made me think of the life I have left. Now my heart aches with missing you. We had some good times didn't we. I am so proud of you. I knew you would become a great nurse. You always gave me the best of care. I love you honey! Love your Aunt Cindy

This is a wonderful poem... it's really sad though. i never really thought about people in hospitals like that, not being able to move, or eat by themselves, it's really sad. im so glad you could write about that! you're an amazing writer! 5/5!

I can't really comment in depth cos this poem hit home a bit to much for me, not the stroke part but the being trapped in your body and unable to speak or do anything for yourself..
It was a wonderful poem though, it meant a lot.
5/5

(In response to your comment on "What U see (Is what u get), it was meant to say "to guys as friends" cos that was what the arguments were moving on to. x)

Wisdom, Love, Truth and Compassion..
Is what I see
Angel of Mercy...what will be, will be.

Wow. its perfect. its rhymes perfectly. it amazing that people such as yourself can write something like thiby knowing someone. you have a great way with words and you express it beautifully. wonderful job. please keep writing. and thank you for the comment on my poem :)

This poem was amazing! umm..did you mean "himself" instead of his self?
I knew a woman like this except she could move just not talk. It still was hard because it's so limiting and humbling....good job!

A great poem, something about this touched me, it was so well written.
take care
love Tara-Kay

I really liked how you expressed him as being 'trapped inside of himself.' Because that's exactly what it is. A lot of us just don't realize it, and a lot of people feel sorry for the guy, but they wouldn't know what exactly for.

Again, flow, rhymes and originality were all a great thing this poem possessed. I don't have much to say, except that we're all trapped inside ourselves sometimes, and we despise it. I can only imagine what it would feel like to wake up and feel trapped. It sends shivers up my back to just think of it.

Anyhow, lol. Great poem. It really asked a lot of deep questions and answered a few too. Well done. =) 5/5 xoxo

Aww. shivers. thats so sad, it would be so degrading not being able to do simple things for yourself, going to the toilet.. etc. its important people remember he's still a person with feelings and thoughts, he just can express them, and i think thats really awful. thank you, this poem was gorgeous

much love and many kisses,
bex

Whoa!!! This was fantastic. So very deep and true. The message was overwhelming and brought me to tears. I know someone in this situation at this moment and it's just truly heartbreaking. I cannot express how the words in this poem just grabbed my attention and held it and brought emotions to surface. This is truly a wonderful piece of art you have.
Fantastic 5/5
