Senility?

Am I getting old?

I confuse the words in my speech,

I have always ‘gabbled’ but now,

Even I can’t understand some words

That I try to form.

 

Am I getting senile?

Sometimes the words that I had,

In my once proud vocabulary

I cannot seem to recall quickly enough,

To try and say aloud.

 

Am I getting past it?

The words eventually come to my mind

But make no sense, as the conversation

Has moved on past the subject for

Which they were meant.

 

Am I getting worried?

I try not to be, but the nagging doubt

Forms in my mind, and the only way

That I can seem to express it,

Is on this page!
