My poem

There’s a scar in my head that you cannot see.

There’s a flicker in my hand, a slight tremor, but you cannot see.

There’s a delay in my speech but you cannot see.

There’s something not right but you cannot see.

There’s a yell and a scream but you cannot see.

There’s a quiet at times but you cannot see.

I am the same as I always was, but you cannot see

I am a stroke survivor and I’m just me.

Alison, all so true and beutifully written.  If people could see what we go through as stroke survivors there would be better understanding of what we face in rehabilitation and recovery.
