Dementia [Sunku]

I hide
my turmoil
with shaky palms

ashamed
my lips fail
to voice my mind

resigned
I follow
hands of the clock_

here dear raj. I came this morning to read and found this one. You know how much I relate to this, but you've described it much better than I did. You really hit the nail with this. Everyword rings so true and I'm unable to find the right words.
Your words speak volumes to me.
Take care!

Thanks for the time to read and comment. Yes...I know you could relate to this poem. I know it is a sensitive topic yet this was an attempt to say in few words what those affected by Dementia may be going through...which surely must be much more than what I managed to put in verse and ofcourse those loved ones around them who must be feeling so helpless...
.
I suggest you spare a little time when you can at Neopoet to refresh your mind by reading and writing before returning to your care taking deeds...

my best to keep in touch with the out-world. Coming here gives me such a relief, but the few comments often discourages to share . Anyways, this is a place I'm hooked to no matter what!
Thank you for caring dear friend .

I can understand and appreciate your family needs the foremost attention and should always come first. Do not feel guilty of you cannot read..write or comment which we know you love to do. Just consider whatever little time you can spare as a coffee break or recess to refresh yourself..

Cheers!
