Life Is Full Of Struggles As I Get Older

People say as I get older,
I become more calm
Enjoy the peace
I never liked that kind of peace
Bad luck when you are young
Always struggling to survive
Just thinking about doing things
Use one day as several days
Now I'm older,
It's time to get some free time
But my heart feels empty
No matter if you take care of the children and siblings
What else can I do?
If it weren't for now
I can't bother with it anymore
You said people don't make trouble still stays alive?
You are right,
Life is full of struggle
I think it too.
