Sorry I kept you waiting
It’ okay.
I am afraid I have some bad news .
There is no negating
This.
You have a damaged brain
I’m afraid, nothing for you
will be the same.
I see.
What exactly does this mean to me?
We can’t let you work any more
and lots of tests do we have in store
For you.
But, I …
okay so I’ve been ditzy
a time or two
and maybe I passed out a few
are you sure I just don’t have the flu?
But what happened to my high IQ?
This can’t be happening!
I don’t believe You!
Let me tell you
so you understand.
Your still smart
You have a damaged part.
Your brain is a computer
and your hard drive
went bad.
Thinking to hard
will make you
go mad.
The files are scattered all over the place
everything in there got misplaced.
But where do I go from here?
I feel like I am standing on a pier
and I am about to fall.
Being smart is who I am
But what your saying
I do not understand
now I wonder
If I am dream land.
You need to come to terms with this.
Find someone you love
and go get a kiss.
You will find something
that you can do.
But from now on
working is not for you.
Okay thank you doctor
for being frank
I really wish this was a prank.
I will see myself to the door.

So Than My new life began
Of never playing piano by ear
or
remembering where I put that beer.
Helping the homeless
by giving them rooms.
Or teaching
the abused how to live
with a new tune.
Gone are the days
of my photographic memory
It no longer means a thing to me.
What I have now
is a loving family.
Writing poems
helps me
I write in the hope
that others wont feel so alone.
That maybe, just maybe
it will help someone cope.
I write
about my life
to help others in strife.
It is my hope
that I am doing something right.
