Evidence Suggest


We cannot know what pain feels like

Though evidence suggest it is unpleasant

We cannot know who they were before

Though evidence suggest they are now sick

 

We cannot know who their loved ones are

Though evidence suggest they have a family

A file chart gives medical history

But no mention of the history they've made

 

We cannot know what they leave behind

Though evidence suggest we may never truly know

We cannot know who is this new person they will become

Though evidence suggest they will never be the same
