No longer exists. Cant drive so I spend 24 7 alone. I am scared of growing old. There will be no one to make sure I was ok. No one to help.

I hope when I really begin to deteriorate
And I know I cannot care for myself I hope that I die before it happens.

If I dont die there are ways to ensure I can die and get out before I get too far gone.

I am scared of my future.
