Beyond Visions Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Having never experimented with drugs or alcohol, this poem seems out of the ordinary, until I tell you that in college, chemistry was my favorite subject of all. Here I'm just referring to chemicals found naturally in all our brains. Brains and minds have always intrigued me and I had planned on becoming a brain surgeon. A misdiagnosis from a doctor messed up my plans when younger and I never got to realize my dream. Now I write about things that happened because of doctor and/or medical mistakes during my lifetime - all of them true and documented in medical records. It taught me to always get a third opinion and then go with your intuition.
