Dementia " Truth in Verse "

Dementia ? Let's tell the truth

Let's tell The truth About Dementia

I have dementia, there you go it`s said,

From when I wake in the morning until I go to bed,

Nothing can change that, however uncouth,

But what we can do, is tell the truth,

Dementia is ugly, cruel, never easy,

It enters your life it's so very sleazy,

A silent assassin that creeps up on you,

Without you knowing, quite what to do,

It feeds on your memories, strength and good will,

Eating away, making you ill,

All that was once, real and true,

Now so confusing, saddened and blue,

However, you wrap it in what words you use,

Dementia`s Dementia, however, you muse,

So let's all be honest, forthright and true,

Let's tell the truth, it's ALL we can do
