Lost Within My Mind
I’m in another place
It’s a place I do not know
I’m afraid, confused lost in this space
Within my mind
They say I’m old and have lost my mind
They say there is no cure
They laugh and scoff when I try to say
I am still me here within my mind
No-one knows me anymore
No-one listens
No-one talks to me when I try to tell them
I am still me here within my mind
I did not ask to come to this place
This place I do not know
A place where I am lonely, sad and cry
This place where I am lost within my mind
I wish they would understand
I am here within my mind
I am not an empty shell
I am still me asking to be loved
Not left behind, forgotten in this place
Simply because at times I am lost within my mind

I wrote this one evening after speaking with my mother-in-law who suffered with Alzeimer's disease. She sadly died. I miss her so much, My mother suffered from the same disease and I miss her every minute of every day terribly. On Mother's day they both occupy my thoughts continuously.
