Sam Raj Poet Free verse

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.

Paul Callus May 23, 2014 at 11:30 AM 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 Sam Raj May 24, 2014 at 9:05 AM 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

Poet Destroyer A May 23, 2014 at 10:22 AM 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 Sam Raj May 24, 2014 at 9:01 AM 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
