Generally the public are ignorant of how life changes for someone with a new mind.
The waters are unchartered.
Rationality is hampered and delayed,
Impulsiveness is rampant and
Thought doesn't have a barrage of filtration and tact to sift through…..

Smell and taste are non-existent,
Hearing and balance are affected.

Suicide is hovering with open doors,
Depression is constant,
Life's beauty has faded.

One doesn't have the safe guiding of survival fear any more.
The ability to tell a white lie to resolve or comfort a situation has gone.
Truth is said without haste or filtration,
It's how it is.

Your family doesn't take your new mind with ease,
My family has gone.

Management of money is disastrous,
A day by day struggle.

Confidence is small - nearly non-existent.
How do I manage a job every day? I wonder and I can't…..

Forgetfulness is daily,
Keys are gone, my teeth are greasy and furry,
Where's my toothbrush?

My tiredness is now a battle.
I used to have so much energy and spirit.
