Who I Am - Updated Poetry Contest

Heck, who am I? I fell, taken to hospital. Strong antibiotics and was sent home. I felt dizzy. Who cared? Diabetic pills sent me into deep coma. Found myself in a different new hospital. Woke in a corridor alone. Who am I? What's my name? I want to go back home. My sweet daughter Took me to a rest home, explained. And showed me some photos, went for a walk. Mild amnesia. 'twill pass. Old and new flashes of memories came and went. Began to write poems. Old friends just disappeared, Wish some memories went away. But the urge to write poetry, free or rhymed, stayed. Placed 1

Funny I have written one with exactly the same Title Victor only yesterday.' A Different theme Yet then they are both about life.. So each a View from the same house? Yet different Windows as it were.) All the best over Christmas'

Hi Victor how are you my friend? I read the comments below. I read your Poem but I don't know if its real about you or it's fiction. Eating lots of vegetables well help with diabetes, stay away from starch foods rice, bread, potatoes. Eat more grass fed meat. You will get rid of your type two diabetes in three months. Then try getting off your diabetic meds. Wishing you great health my friend keep us posted on how your doing. We love you Victor we want you well...

Hello Victor, your poem eloquently conveys the fragility of a person's character and the strength of one's artistic nature. The juxtaposition of fragility and power is moving. Stay healthy.

Oh, this is such a heartfelt and soul-moving piece dear Victor. I felt the vulnerability in your lines and descriptions, that anxiety which never ends ~ when our existence begins to fade away and we are led through hard maze of life... poetry and finding moments in which one can seek solace, I think, can be the most cathartic. Sending you light and best wishes always, this was such a poignant read...

Dear Victor, your poem beautifully captures the fragility of identity and the resilience of the creative spirit. It’s a poignant reflection on navigating illness and memory loss, finding solace and purpose in poetry even as the world shifts and old connections fade. A touching blend of vulnerability and strength. Keep well...Hugs
