Brain Injury: Severe TBI after falling on ice.

Explanation of Mask: LOST

Brain injury to me is a story of loss, of sadness, and of overwhelming negative emotion. Underneath the broken glass of the mask is nothingness; behind my other eye is my old life, represented by a home far away in the distance – remembered but out of reach. Word, swirling and confused, are stuck inside me except for foreign words, which seem to make sense. My head is a hurricane of emotion, swirling storm, like in drops of glittering rain. The angels may be watching over me but they don’t seem to be paying attention.
