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!
