Insanity

It has arrived

full blown hatred

threats of suicide

physical attacks

mental attacks

total mayhem

There is no reason

shall I call EMTs

or the police or let

it all blow over

in the morning no

remembrance

Except I remember

everything as days

pass in misery over

and over and over

I try, I give, I do all

I can from love

Insanity doesn’t know

love and compassion

or appreciation for

what it takes to care

for a loved one with

Alzheimer’s Disease

It is a lonely journey

it is a thankless journey

it is a brutal journey

tomorrow it begins again

again the struggle to

survive another day
