Speaking quite frankly, I must say, The burden of time grows heavier each day. Reason stares cruelly, but I can only view blankly. Growing angrier, shortsighted, and cranky. In the past three hundred and sixty-five days, Each moment seems to bestow the weight that stays. Tasks pile up, deadlines loom, Tick-tock of the clock as impending doom. Days turn to weeks, weeks turn to months, And before I realize it, another year confronts. I cannot escape it, no matter how I try. The burden of time only multiplies. My youth is long gone, never to return. Anile age creeps in, and I start to yearn. For the days when time seemed to fly by, When life was simple, I didn't need to try. But now, with each passing moment, I feel the strain. The weight of my responsibilities drives me insane.

I look back and wonder how I possibly did all that I did when I was younger. It seems inconceivable that one person could have achieved all that in just one day, every day. Your poem has captured perfectly the lament of growing old.
