I am facing one of life's dramatic events
I try hard to hide my fear
I am sure that I will never be the same ever again
I have faced death face to face more than once
I know what can happen even as you sleep
I am no longer the writer that I once was,
BRAIN DAMAGE!!
I can never write another book, and I am ashamed to write a poem
!! It sounds as bad as it is
I lost my friends, my freedom to drive, and my pride.
It is five years later and my intellect is declining daily
BRAIN DAMAGE
There are great men at a famous hospital who are going to shave my head
Go into my brain and try to fix me so I can live a few more years
Medicated, alone and living with the beginnings of Dementia
I am a Christian and cannot put an end to this madness
BRAIN DAMAGE
You Poets that remember me, please pray that these Great Medical Warriors
Either cure me or kill me.
Don't let me be a burden on anyone.
God give me courage to face this with no fear.
Amen
