While being Mama's caregiver, there were alot of things she had done that was so unbearable to believe. I visited so many websites and read many stories of Alzheimer's as to find out this disease basically ruled our loved one's life at such a devastating point to where we were all in the same situation. Never had I felt so alone in my life as to when I had to take care of her.

You see, I was new to a computer and all I did was sit and read all these stories and information about this dreadful disease that had taken over my mama. I found later it helped me to read and understand and I thank everyone for having these pages for people to reach out and read about Alzheimer's. This is the time I started writing poetry and my book, my mama was my inspiration as I wrote about my anger, frustration and my love for her. This poem I wrote early in the morning as I couldn't sleep and found myself online reading page after page. With bitterness of how Alzheimer's had stripped her mind I wondered if it could talk, was this the words it said?

If Alzheimer’s could talk what would it say?

“Ha – ha- ha another victim today!

I’ll strip you of your memories and such

Make you bitter and cold to the touch

It’s your turn to cry or act strangely

I know you’ll never get rid of me

You’ll wander and roam all through the night

Searching for your children with worry and fright

You’ll forget all about your mom and dad

I can make you not think of the life you had

You won’t even know how to bathe or dress

I’ll make your life hell, a miserable mess!

You’ll do silly things and bad things too

No one will know what happened to you

You will never feel grown again

As you start to live like the child within

I’ll make you not care for yourself

Like your life is in time sitting on a shelf

So lookout ole’ loved one cause I don’t care

Who I affect so just BEWARE!”
