Man Trapped in His Own Body for 23 years

Quote:

BRUSSELS - For 23 torturous years, Rom Houben says he lay trapped in his paralyzed body, aware of what was going on around him but unable to tell anyone or even cry out.

The car-crash victim had been diagnosed as being in a vegetative state but appears to have been conscious the whole time. An expert using a specialized type of brain scan that was not available in the 1980s finally realized it, and unlocked Houben?s mind again.

The 46-year-old Houben is now communicating with one finger and a special touchscreen on his wheelchair.

?Powerlessness. Utter powerlessness. At first I was angry, then I learned to live with it,? he said, punching the message into the screen during an interview with the Belgian RTBF network, aired Monday. He has called his rescue his ?renaissance.?

That's a scary thought, can't imagine what went through his mind.

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel the scream
This terrible silence stops it there

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there's not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god, help me

Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god, wake me

Now the world is gone I'm just one
Oh god, help me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god, help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmines has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

There is only so much a person can take singing 80's songs in his mind before he goes crazy. Poor bugger.

Reminds me of this show I watched one night, it was only 10 minute show, but it was this girl (you see everything out of her eyes) and some people driving along and it was raining, the driver went off the road and hit a light post. Next thing the car is upside down and down an embankment and rain is coming in. You keep hearing her say "help me. someone help me", a few minutes later fire guys are pulling the door off and she's saying "thank god, help me, please, I cant feel anything". The fire men looks into the car, looks right into her eyes and said " cant help her, check the driver" and she said " wait, help me, please!". The camera pans back and it's just her head on the seat.
Just a little scary that she could still think.
