My mind returns to the sharpness
I used to have
My will returns to a strength
I used to feel
Subsequent to a med adjustment
And relief from soporific side effects
I feel a strange sadness
As I contemplate the former competence
I used to enjoy
And wonder, at my mature age, whether
To attempt to recapture
My former competence
Or to rest in the memory
Of what I used to be
In that strange sadness
