How did you come in the thief of the night…why must it happen? Affecting the brain
There used to be a time filled with laughter and an active lifestyle
Although, each day is a repeating factor such as the rain
Yet looking in the mirror gets confusing each day…memories are lost
Familiar objects and faces leave a deep thought of confusion
Each day requiring assistance due to wandering and exhaust
Words are in a rumble…thoughts are disorganized…who are you
Memory games are fun yet the next day teach me all over again
Please be patient with me yet if it could be corrected yes undo
However, 3-7 years is what they give, leaving families in tears
The delusion is what happens when you visit
Mood swings occur…Who are you…left with daily fears
Awaken to see bruises on the body or unexplained falls
Therefore, accepting your empathy yet this is not considered normal
Placed in a building for safety with so many walls
Hobbies were so enjoyable at once … now they have faded away
No routine…for food or water … please don’t forget to visit
Yet no memory… when you come there is a sudden smile and we play
Many assume that Alzheimer’s comes only to older people…Not true
It can happen in the middle age stage with individuals slowly start forgetting simple things
It can be anyone …it does not discriminate yet it only pursues
We live in a world with some many complications such as illness
So everyday live your life…travel…make albums… exercise…never give up hope
Once again, who are you… just left in a room of stillness

Was I a Model in Japan?
During my time in Nagoya I worked and lived at the strangely famous hostel and café Nagonoya. With its chequered floors and florescent lighting it felt quite dated, but I think that was supposed to be part of the charm. The dorms were always fully booked on weekends with domestic tourists and there was always a buzz in the downstairs café. Camera crews were constantly in and out of the place interviewing the Japanese staff members who worked the café. I think it had something to do with the egg sandwiches. At least that was what was on most of the merchandise, except for that one dishcloth with the owner’s face on it. Was I being employed by a local celebrity?
