What was once, is no more
I once was young an full of life
Now I知 old and barely alive.

My mind is still active and full of great ideas,
But my body is too weak,
No longer capable of communicating.

What happened to the strong Man?
I was invincible, Then. Where did he go?
And who is this tedered old man that has replaced him?
Why must they sit me in front of this TV?
I知 not dead yet, but maybe to them I am.

No longer productive in this society.
I have been warehoused in this place
Am I less of a man, cause I soiled myself?
The nurse will come soon, and she will be mad.
She will push me and make feel bad
She will miss treat me because I知 old.
Sometimes hit me, when no ones around.

The days come and go, sometimes in a blur.
Sometimes I wish it would all end.
The food is okay, I guess
I wouldn稚 know, I lost my taste buds long ago.

Where have all the good times gone
I have no friends left, no one I can relate
Once I was the life of the party
Now I am but an inconvenience
It is not my fault that I have aged
I guess I知 old and now I知 done.
