ONE YEAR OLDER

ONE YEAR OLDER

One year older, but am I really wiser?
One year older, closer to being a miser
One year older, thinking of what I own
One year closer to dying alone
One year older, time is running out
To find out what life is really about
One year older, I have to reach my goal
Before another year passes and I become too old
To find someone who will make me smile
To make me forget the horror in this world for a while
And sometimes I wonder if she really exists
Or if I'm destined for loneliness, should I get used to this?
One year older, nothing much really changed
Still so many questions with no answers explained
Still stressed out with problems that weigh on me like a boulder
Will they ever go away?  Maybe I have to wait until I'm one year older.
