they tell me that
old age is not for sissies
i'm here to tell you that
neither is mental illness
an uphill struggle
carrying the weight of the world
battling demons
shaking off crisis after crisis
putting the pieces back together
one more time
and going on
i know now that
i will never give up the fight
too much hard work
too many tears shed
too much brutal pain
too many times
dragging myself in off the ledge
to let it all be for nothing
so if it takes guts
to grow old
i think i have what it takes
