Inspirational Quote for Contest: "I took my bruises, Took my lumps, fell down and got right back up." Eminem "Beautiful" A bleed on the brain brought me down. I languished in pain and a blur For days. Strange dreams prevailed. No appetite. I could not tell time nor could I walk Alone. My left side was limp, contrary. My emotions almost vanished From view. My sense of direction was lost. Rehabilitation was slow And hard. The dread of what the future held Loomed over me replacing pain In time. Would I regain full use of my limbs? Would I be an invalid all My days? Medical staff and family Encouraged, pushed, helped me, waited And prayed. I learned it all again, to read, Walk straight, drive, open doors and be Normal.
