Dementia

What has happened to me?

Where am I?

Where is this thing taking me?

How can I have been taken away from myself

I still look like me on the outside

only on the inside have I changed.

I seem to have left this body that was once mine and now I inhabit somewhere in between

in between here and...

well I just don't know.

I had a life

I did many things

I could do many things...

but not now

They have taken things from me because of it.

my job and my car.

I can't remember how to drive!

I seem to be entering a long dark tunnel

but what is at the end of it...

I'm not really sure!

Will this darkness engulf me?

Is this fear on my face or just confusion?

How can I be surrounded by a past I can recal

but in a 'now' that isn't mine?

Forgive me if I seem rude when you speak

If I don't quite remember who you are

or don't quite follow your thread of conversation

That isn't the me I really am

I once was...

for if you knew the me I once was

you will know I'm not like that

But can you tell me where I am heading?

Where am I now?

Where is the me I used to be?
