No

Soon it will be twenty nineteen, I am no longer the teen that I was I am old, aching and I feel that my life draws to an end, because I can no longer achieve the things that I could do when I was young Simple things like climbing the stairs leaves me in great pain I wish I could relive the life of a young man again Change things that caused me all the strain To sit in the sun and shy the rain Work less and once again Rise the new year A Phoenix Alas I am what I am Time waits for no man Twenty nineteen will be one year more To bring addition pain and ill health to my door If I could of changed just one thing that made my body ache so It would have been having the choice to make the right decisions And say, No
