I Am So Scared
I am so scared of being impaired as I grow old
I am so afraid of not taking a bath unless I'm told
I dread feeling confused, not right in my head
I balk at the thought of forgetting to go to bed
I feel anxious at the thought of not recognizing my babies
I don't want my brain to not know ifs from maybes
I fear the unknown with every breathe and bone
Inherited propensity, take measures to postpone
Bad stuff still happens, no matter what we do
But still must try before brain turns to goo
