Trapped in a vessel
Body broken
Mind slipping
An existence of pain and discomfort
Short, temporary flashes
Of a former existence
That can be seen in the eyes
In a smile
Or in a few lucid words
That harks back to another time
Trapped in a vessel
Unable to make decisions for yourself
Those decisions falling on ones close to you
Which are monumental
Hoping the right decisions are made
That you would choose for yourself if possible
Trapped in a vessel
Body broken
Mind slipping
Not a place I ever wanted to be
