All Because of Me

I will creep into your brain like a snake stalks its prey, slow, smooth. I'll make your memory deteriorate. People will say its just old age, but guess what? It's really me. I will turn you against people. Your family will cry. Yelling Tears Fear Rejection All because of me. I tear families apart. You could call me a home wrecker, but hey, What are you going to do about it? I have no cure, your fate is inevitable. I'll take the good part, leave the bad for everyone to see. Get ready for Loneliness Depression Confusion Fear Anxiety But hey, It just wasn't me that did this, you helped. Rejection Rejection Rejection All because of me. Dementia

- Dementia is a disease no one can apply it to someone, there is no medication that helps people with dementia. - A very, very sad disease! - (I have experienced a lot, I'm a nurse) - You write well Laura, welcome to P-Soup! - Have fun with poetry! - oxox / / Anne-Lise :)

Wow, what a creative and unique way to write about Dementia - from the point of view of the disease itself. Another great poem. Keep 'em coming!
