Thanks a lot for reading and commenting, Peter! Yes, it’s tragic, and the worst thing is it is based on a true story.

WOW! This is one heavy piece. Sad, heartbreaking & tragic. The mind is a terrible thing to lose. Great piece Sappho.

Yeah, losing one’s mind must be horrible! The number of people suffering from dementia is increasing, and I think the reason is not only the higher life expectancy nowadays but also depleted soils and incorrect nutrition.
As always, thanks a lot for your feedback dear Keith!

The world must seem a terrifying & surreal place when the mind drifts in & out of presence. This one aches

Yes, Willow, this is certainly terrifying. And there are different clinical pictures of dementia. I think the worst is the one you consciously know that you are suffering from dementia but there is nothing you can do against it…
Thank you very much for your meaningful comment!

Beautifully aching. The suffering of the mind, suicide as a means of escape from that sorrow, and the ending was a good punch to the reader!

Life itself often tells the most tragic stories. I simply had to write a poem on this heartbreaking case.
Lots of thanks for your kind comment, Daniel!
Great to meet you here again!

Yes, the topic is indeed disturbing but nevertheless it is important. More and more people have to or will have to deal with dementia.
Thanks a lot for reading and commenting, Seacat! -

Killer piece my friend. A great poem to think about, especially if you sold your soul.
Question for you Damian…Did you sell your soul for Rock n Roll?-

Use to watch Mr. Rogers when I was a kid. Great flow on this piece. Love the Crimson Ghost images in picture. GREAT!

I used to watch him too. Originally I wrote this poem as a what if but felt it came off like I wanted to do that stuff. So I felt a bit of fiction would be good and Mr Rogers popped in my head. Thanks for reading. Much appreciated.

Cleverly penned, Nick. This would be a hardcore Mr. Rodgers, always telling the truth about society and its flaws. Great write my friend. Appreciate you.

Once and awhile I get in the mood to write something dark. I actually wanted to write a few more scenarios but was kinda getting long.
Thanks for the read. I very much appreciate it.
