THE EARTH STILL TURNS

I don't talk to my family
It's very difficult for me
I don't want to push myself on other's
I don't want to be smothered

You can't see my symptoms
My dementia doesn't show
It's in my mind and thoughts
Wherever that I go

Often I hide inside
The tears I want to cry
For I don't want my family
To see what's happening to me

I have only a few years left
So let's live it in happiness
No matter what happens along the way
The earth still turns anyway
