So powerful! We’ve all felt like this at times

…of secrets and of who I choose to love 
and who I can’t help but hate…
I don’t know, 
she rejoices, the birds of the morning are lovely, 
but they signal another 
burdensome day 
of toil and restlessness 
and unrecognized effort 
and unrewarded failures, 
of cruel debts 
and unjust scorn, 
we hear the tired phrase echo 
from day to day, 
don’t get old, our elders say, 
always with that …
alternatives to getting old
