I'm sorry she said
I don't write anymore
I am nothing like I was before
I don't know how to reminisce
I am sorry she said
I don't know you anymore
All that once was
Has been lost
Just living today
The Alzheimer's way
Nothing to remember
No appointments to keep
Just wake up
And see what the day brings
People who say they know me
Like I am just supposed to take their word
About who I am
Or whoever
they think
I might be
Now be a dear
whoever you are
And hand me my pills

Well written poem. I understand all too well in the nursing profession. Great job!
I love this poem - I am a district nurse and I get called out to dementia residential homes all the time! So sad to see! Very real poem x
