I am terribly afraid
Of my mind
Deciding it doesn't want to stay
Of not being able
To remember the days
Of my memories slipping away
My body becoming a shell
My mind empty
My soul hardly hanging onto me
Independence lost from me
Slowly, so slowly
I'll forget those closest to me
My family
Will be ghosts to me
And slowly, so slowly
I'll forget to breath
As it did to you
It might do to them
And me as well
