I have this irrational fear
Of forgetting my life
Of forgetting what’s here
My kids, my wife
Our plight and strife
Fleeting, retreating
It cuts like a knife
My head I’m beating
It may be
my ADHD
But I need a PhD
To diagnose me
As it is, I can’t discern
The difference in days
It’s a cause for concern
If I can’t remember anyways
Yesterday from today
How will I be okay
Towards the end of days?
I pray it stays
I’ll mark my skin
With days back then
What happened and when
Perhaps I’ll keep in
Maybe retain
If I may speak plain
Each day’s insane
My brains in flames
I ‘ll try and strive
To remember
Why I’m alive
Come December
