Too Tired To Go On

I've sampled the many fruits of life, and dwelled in its many woes. Sailed to different distant shores, and witnessed flagrant shows. I've aged too fast before my time, but feel that this I must do. In search of something better, if not just something new. Deeply weary to the bone, I start stumbling a lot my dear. Only hoping for the best, in the upcoming year. Pain and sorrow always follows me, despite all reflecting in any pond. Loneliness my only companion, probably right into the great beyond. Memories forever taunt me, of things done so long ago. Your face to evermore haunt me, as on and on I go. This journey seeming endless, a quest of seeking peace. This path called life, when will it just cease. Vast troubles and countless heartaches, seem to be my only gain.  Love and riches have escaped me, in this life's funny game. Must I keep going and carrying on, or may I please finally stop and rest, for I am much too tired to go on.
