Poetry on Surviving Brain Injury by Jason Ferguson

Poetry about Living With TBI

 By Jason Ferguson

I Lived

Everyday is beautiful; some are dreary and others are pretty,
I love them all and you would too if you were me.
To see that wonderful sunrise brings a smile to my heart,
Reminding every day; it’s a brand new start.
Then to see the marvelous sunset in the west,
It is there reminding us all that we are truly blessed.
To realize that I took so much for granted makes me want to cry,
I am so thankful that I did not die.

So many people do not get the same opportunity,
That is why I need to be the best person that I can be.
It does not matter what it is; everything happens for a reason,
Unexplainable events will happen everyday and there will be a lot more to come.
Some are to never be figured out; just because you can’t does not mean that you are dumb.
Take a second and admire the world around you and be thankful you are still here.
Make it a habit, day after day, year after year.
