Aging Disgracefully

It starts

It starts the day we're born

One step towards the Lord

Death is at the front door

Too bad I'm ignored

My mind's gone

Our time is up

The bottom line?

I am alone

Now I'm wearing diapers

Shit myself all day

Railing, cane or walker

Keeps me from falling

Someday I'll be gone

Dementia's taking hold

Forfeit to the floor

Look back on getting old

My mind's gone

Our time is up

The bottom line?

I am alone

Senility now

Now

My mind's gone

Our time is up

The bottom line?

I am alone
