I am beginning to lose my words.
I couldn't pronounce democracy,
I cant remember the word for objects,
I forget what some things mean.
Years ago I was the english class favorite.
I was an actor, a singer a speech maker,
I read presentations for the school-board.
Now I am having trouble reading, period.
I am beginning to lose my coordination.
My hands just wont do as I say,
Sometimes they break into tremors,
I drop things if I don't take precautions,
I can't use scissors without it looking dumb.
I am beginning to lose my focus.
Things just don't fit together anymore.
Its not that I'm not trying I swear,
I'm just becoming so, so slow.
But I'm not slow enough not to notice,
That I am terrified.
