Jack 1

There isn’t much in life I fear
But certain words I’d hate to hear

Our memory is a treasure chest of all things dear
But when the brain fails, memories start to disappear

If your faculties start to go
And the ones you love, you start not to know

Becoming locked insides ourselves with nothing to show
Then time itself becomes our biggest foe

What will it be like when the brain starts really dying
Do we continue to live or just stop trying
