There is this feeling that haunts a soul

It is the feeling of being

Of growing too old

This feeling is in me, I feel it sometimes

It haunts me at day

But mostly at night

What I wasn’t expecting is how I would feel

When another person told me

This feeling is real

This feeling is one of sorrow and pain

It makes you feel

Your life is of shame

Life comes with a burden

A burden unwelcomed

Let’s just pray that it doesn’t worsen

It seems as though some

Feel this feeling intensely

Makes us want to give up, makes us want to run

My husband has said that he feels it too

It makes me feel awful

What can I do?

We are all just here

By chance perhaps

Within ourselves, we all must leer

But after this life

Who knows what’s in store

I only hope it isn’t more strife

So I hold on to hope

It’s all that we’ve got

This is our truth, one we must scope
