We go through life with memories to account for the things we have experienced
Sometimes we don’t realize that could easily be taken away

one day you start to question who you are,
confusion takes over your mind like a shroud of dark mist,
making it harder to remember what happened yesterday

Things get worse,
you forget who your loved ones are,
you forget who you are,
panic sets in as you struggle to find out why this is happening
before you can realize what is causing you such internal torment, your mind is wiped clean

These people taking care of you look like strangers,
In their eyes pain can be seen
They love you with all their heart

Who are you? Do I know you? Why are you here?
These words can break your family’s heart,
you say them anyways because you don’t know why these strangers are helping you everyday
these strangers are telling you they’re your daughter, son, and nephew
You don’t want to see them cry

Who am I?
