Five faces

Five faces

A Poem by Jon Roggie

I don't try to hide it,
  and I understand if it makes you uneasy.

I live in a house of dementia.

I am at least five people,
  and maybe more.

Son with a cup of coffee,
  although maybe just the cook.

Gardener,
   mixed with the trash man.

The one who picks you up when you have fallen.

Each day is another personality,
  and I can't help it.

I am losing track.

but it almost sounds like you are all these people in order to take care of her...needing to be this many people, this many personalities.

More for her husband. Now, rest of the household adds more personalities.
