Demented Soul

Dementia has taken hold of my mind. There is nothing, my reasoning controls. Sorry for my demeanor. I don't mean to hurt anyone. Its paralysis of my thinking mind. Please forgive my deeds. They are insane and unkind. I did not know that my subconscious mind, Can take control. I hardly remember any event in my life. There are some, that I recognise. Just the deeply etched impressions. Most of the time, I am not me. I became somebody, I do not know. I cannot even wish, that my will to live, will end. My reasoning is demented. I wish that they are not so unkind. My loved ones suffer the ignominy. If I had my senses intact. I would have rewritten history. It’s a shame that in this 21st century. There are no solutions for this bane. Euthanasia is not prescribed by law, Nor can I self destruct. There is no justice from above or below. Just feel I am suspended in time. I cannot imagine what I can’t. I cannot express what I want. No guilt no shame, what wrong have I done, To exist in this parallel universe.

Dementia is what I fear in old age. Loved the way you describe it; "suspended in time" fits very well. // congrats on a fine win, Sam. // paul

Thanks Paul, In fact I know someone who actually influenced this write. It's very sad, when you see people helpless. And it cuts both ways. But I hope very soon we will have some remedy, for this ailment. Keep in touch

Congratulations, Sam,. I hope you don't mind your placement in my contest. Out of past experience, I know many don't like when I don't have a first or second placement. However, this is my judgment, and it only feels right, to place each poem, in the order I would have, as if there had been a first or second placement. Believe me, I'm not taking from you or your winning poem. Hugs, and enjoy my blog, "Conundrum" if you'd like. Have yourself a sweet day. ...always Linda

Thanks Linda, Absolutely no probs. As long as I receive a good comment from you I feel it's as good a placement as any in the first rung. Moreover this poem has already won in your contest earlier. This another bonus. LOL
