To where have all the words gone <br />and why are memories <br />fading away, <br />as if they were never <br />meant to be? <br /> <br />Calculus and math <br />have taken a hike <br />and normal speech, <br />is away on a motorbike <br />and has left for good. <br /> <br />Like a clown to people <br />around me I act, <br />without knowing what <br />they found so funny <br />and why they look at me <br />as if I am mad. <br /> <br />What has happened to me <br />and where’s my integrity <br />and what road have my dignity taken <br />and why can’t I just be me?<br /><br />Gert Strydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alzheimer-s-3/
