I Wll Never Be Young Again

I will never be young again I must learn to accept this It is pointless to dream of certain things Ever again Dreaming can only bring disappointment I must lower expectations all around Small pleasures can still be had But there is no great love or work Ever to be dreamed again I am a little old man Who looks worse than he ever thought he would Who has more aches and pains Than he ever imagined And less stamina Who is more tired more easily I just must accept all this And let all the inner anger and frustration and disappointment Somehow pretend it does not exist.
