Ideas and thoughts
Come to me
My mind soars above the earth
Intelligence
So new to me
A kind of death, a kind of birth
I heard them say
It's all gone wrong
And that the clarity will fade
If I become
Like Algernon
The gift will slowly be unmade
It's almost done
Here, then gone
A flower for Algernon
A flower for Algernon
He was my friend
When friends were all too rare
When others left me, he remained
If I had known
Would I have ever dared
To risk the loss of all I've gained?
I run the maze
The labyrinth of my mind
I stumble in the dimming light
So easy once
I struggle now to find
To keep just how to read and write
It's almost done
Here, then gone
A flower for Algernon
A flower for Algernon
