MIXED UP OVER DEMENTIA

Dementia is a place,
That I don't want to be.
But at least,
My mind is still free.

I may curse sometimes,
About things.
That I cannot find,
Of that I cannot deny.

To say I haven't got it,
That would be a lie.
But I can live with it,
Although I don't know why.

Mixed dementia what a curse,
I'm just an old man.
That's had to fight all my given life,
For what I think I'm worth.
