Dementia! (English)

The wrinkles in my face
The Life I traversed in space

Life is beautiful and sunny
Mostly though..
But for few,to remind of -
Life is beautiful and sunny.

A long journey too far
not many have stayed on par

On my own leading my life
Loneliness - its a daily strife

May be today or tomorrow?
Padded up in the pavilion
and ready to go oblivion.

Ah! my memories are fading
Forgetfulness is endearing.
Oh God! save my head
Losing it I dread

Only my memories, I want to hold tight
it goes away fading, outright.

Memories die away like an ember
What I lost, I don't even remember.

Dementia, its a shadow in twilight
ever growing on me, on my memories.

Some day, I'll forget to remember
"who am i" and my meaning
Remember to forget -
From day one of living, one starts out dying.

I struggle, I fight back
my mind from losing
how long? the count I lost tracking.

Someday, I may not remember when
Dementia silently wins and proclaims
"Its all me and there is no you."

I live, I exist,
without knowing
I live, I exist
Until I forgot to breathe
One last time.
