Today I am old, I am tired
Ask me what you will my dear
For I am here today, tomorrow
I might not be able to answer,
"Is it worth it? Getting old & weak?"
It's worth everything I begged for
Everything I had was worth having
The things I lost? Regrets killed early
I'm not weak, just aware of the futility
I'm satisfied of things bearing my name.
"Why do we suffer so much then?"
Suffering is a part of the grand scheme
You break to learn how to rebuild
You bleed to see the hues of red mix
You drown to taste the salt of seas seven
You get back up to do it again, do it right.
"Then what's stopping me from giving up?"
Nothing really, nothing ever stopped you
It's your hubris that lets you crawl further
Even at the bitter end you crave sunsets
You walk on because you deserve this
The world, the life and the promise.
"Will I be happy? Will I be sad?"
You'll be happy as much as you were sad
You'll be sad as much as you were happy
It's the balance that prevails, neither of us
The good reminds you to fullfill the void
The bad reminds you to respect the time.
