Who Am I Then?

When my body grows old,

and it ceases to function.

When I become; 'unable-to'.

When; 'I can't'. 

And when; 'I loose' and,

 'can no-longer'.

   ...Who am I then?

Then; when my mind starts to disintegrate,

and my faculties are lost.

When my cognative functions faid,

and my past is eventually taken from me,

and; 'I'm locked-in' 

and; 'I'm frightened'.

Who am I then?

Who will I be if I have no past?

Who will I be if I can't live for the present,

in what body and mind I have remaining?

And what of the future?

What future?

Will I know?

Will I care?

Who am I then?
