Suck It Up

Tis the life I hate At forty-eight Rolling in the myrrh Kicking in the earth Too young to whine Too big to cry About the times We are living now Keep moving on Through the pond Don’t drag your feet You’re meet defeat The pond is deep Fill with grief Sing lullabies To happy times Death is near So have a beer

Lol. I can't help but laugh at the last lines. I want to tell the voice in the poem that it is not old to be forty eight. Good job!
