When you've had a brain injury
No-one can see, just by standing & looking at me
The after effects are hard to bear,
The old "ME" is just not there.
My emotions are all over the place,
sometimes I feel I'm floating in space
Then I'll be angry, & then I will cry
I'll shut myself off & heave a big sigh.
I know some things I say cause pain
but I can't help it & say it again.
I know the things I want to say
But it never seems to come out that way.
All these things have changed my life
The pressures now all on my wife
How she copes I do not know
I know that she still loves me though.

These things change a carers life too
So Headway Bradford may help you
When you care for persons injured like this
Your daily life is far from bliss
We help each other by having a chat
Comparing notes & things like that
To understand we're not on our own
Another members at the end of the phone
Give us a try we'll show we care
A trouble halved is a trouble shared
We've all met friends to talk things through
Our next member could be YOU
