    The Crack in my Brain

    I thought a thought just a moment ago,
    But what it was I sure don't know,
    It slipped through a crack and disappeared,
    Floating somewhere waiting to reappear,
    Hidden among other thoughts I lost on other days,
    Till I lost so many thoughts I walked around in a daze,
    I lost a really good job I had for seven years,
    I lost our money, my marriage and cried a lot of tears,
    I lost my home and lost my pets, then lost the next three months,
    I lost my words and now my thoughts,
    My brain must have a dump.
    If I ever find that crack in my brain I'm sure it will be full,
    As long as there is no "delete," I'm sure my doctor will pull
    All that lost information back to where it's supposed to be,
    And close that crack forever so I'm back to being me,
    But if that never happens and that's what I've been told,
    Then one day all of me will slip away
    With no one I remember to hold,
    I really don't like this chain of events that will lead to my demise,
    I refuse to fall into that crack,
    Won't they be surprised!
    Ten years from now we'll both find out which one of us is right,
    If it isn't me, odds are I won't remember and be too tired to fight,
    If I'm really in this terrible plight, I guess my destiny is set,
    Without even knowing I'll lose myself as on the edge I let
    The best of me that made me who I was, fall as if slain,
    Forever into the abyss known as the crack inside my brain.

    Just because we lose things doesn't mean they are lost. It's hard to feel and/or know those concepts when we are suffering.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

    Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
