- * ALTZHEIMERS * -

Sometimes, I'm in the shadows
Of this life, here, day by day.
Sometimes, I just sit inside
And watch all the others play.

With energy displayed so well,
They're running here and there
But here I'm in the shadows....
For I exist nowhere.

I try to hide so skillfully
Embrasing life around,
But sometimes in these shadows
I feel that I might drown.

Pull me back up to the surface,
Grab me from the shadows here.
Please keep me in Your Keeping
For the shadows...I do fear.

They seem to just engulf me....
Seeping in more everyday,
And sometime soon...They'll keep me
And never let me out to play.
