DEMENTIA
I donâ€™t know where Iâ€™m going
Forgotten where Iâ€™ve been
I donâ€™t know what Iâ€™m doing
Canâ€™t remember, what Iâ€™ve seen

I donâ€™t know what Iâ€™ve done
Nor what I did it for
I donâ€™t know who I am
Nor who I was before

I donâ€™t know who you are
Or why youâ€™re here with me
I donâ€™t know how to say
Please, just set me free

A well composed and philosophical poem. An easy read but a hard topic to get to grips with.
