ALZHEIMER
Why can't I be free
Everyone is walking around except me
Is it that my brain won't let me be
Or is it because I'm acting irrationally
Why can't I be free
I used to remember my history
I never would have thought that this would be me
My brain is shutting down. What a catastrophe
Why can't I be free
I can see everyone, but their no memory
Everybody I love is a glare to me
I can't even recognize my family
Why can't I be free
To be stuck in a house, no more walking around on my feet
Lock doors and sticky notes are everywhere for me to read
I'm getting mad at this life because of this difficulty
Why can't I be free
I'm stuck in a prison of my own reality
I'm trying to remember, but it's hurting me
I'm really scared to lose my memory
Why can't I be free
This disease has taken away my sanity
There's no cure for this illness. It's not even a possibility
You just fade away for eternity
WHEN All I WANT TO DO IS BE FREE
BUT I'M LOSING MY MEMORY AND NO ONE CAN HELP ME!!!
