on the way to trigger land

On the way to trigger land Not only did I get lost But I misplaced my gun My children laughed Knowing I never had one I talk tough when I feel vulnerable Seeing through me, They wondered what was wrong Had I gone off my medication? I am older now Alzheimer’s could come calling at any moment After all it took my dad didn’t it? My mind was playing weird tricks today I wisely stayed away from the phone and computer Not wanting to hear criticisms or critique Children I raised Who think they know more than I ever can Because my hair is white and my body had gone to seed.
