Memory Jam

Memory Jam I came in here for something! Don’t know what it was, I know that it’s important, It must have been because I’ve brought my handbag with me, Why would I do that? Unless I’m just not going But really coming back. As I’m here, I’ll check to see If I need to shop tea, ‘Oh my lord’ what’s that in there I don’t eat that rubbish! Wait, yes, perhaps I do, Or was it left in there for you, I just don’t remember. I’m tired, I think I’ll take a nap, Get some sleep and see if that Activates my brain cells. Now, where exactly was my room? It must be round here somewhere! I don’t recognise this hall, This carpet or these painted walls, It’s not my house I’m stood in!!!!! It’s stuck in time, this brain of mine, No longer am I able To function as I once had done, And scared of how I will become So very lost and feeble, I’m not there yet, I still have time To fight this cruel disease, But I can’t win, so now I ask, Will you help me, please!

Such a sad write - my mum has memory issues and early dementia she says she hates living the way she is now - its a cruel cruel disease and your write brought a tear to my eye. Its rated a 7 from me. Hugs Jan xxx
