Aphasia

Aphasia

A Poem by Shadowkai
"

Why can't anyone understand me?

"
I tried to scream for help
Nothing came out
She looked at me 
Her eyes said it all
They thought I was gone
That no one was home
No one understood
Doctor says,
"His mind is in another place"
Yet I beg to differ
Tears roll from her eyes
"I'll never leave you"
She says
If that were only true
I am no more than a husk
And she could see so too

Very nice. It can be read from so many different perspectives. I like that. People with vastly different experiences can relate to it.
Three very small suggestions.
First, I would make the second line simply "Nothing came out."
Second, I would make "And no one was home" "That no one was home"
Third, work on "I am nothing more than a husk now." It just doesn't flow quite right to me. I think it might be too long. You could try getting rid of the now? I'm not sure.
As always, it is your poem. Do what you will with the suggestions!

There is a saying that goes: "You will not know the real value of something only after losing it" That story is sad, but the write is beautiful. Good job!

Insight.
