As you get older life gets more complex.
21/01/2021
Sometimes the long years I lost on the inside
Sting a little
In the fabric of my soul
When I got locked up
I was a young man
Now I’m staring middle age
Square in the face
Grey hairs and back pain
And I still remember cassettes
The dating game is different
In your mid thirties
They all want something real
And so do I
But I don’t have the time to burn
On relationships that don’t work out
All the old friends
Have changed, got married
Had kids and careers
Home loans and holidays
And I’m starting from scratch
Working overtime to catch up
But the rat race is brutal
So I shoulder my cross
At ease with my burden
Work hard and smart
To make this life that stings
A little kinder to my troubled mind
Run your own race
Anything else would lead to despair
As I count my blessings
And count my grey hairs

Nothing reminds you you’re getting old like serious back pain, an unpleasant experience that has been happening to me with increasing regularity.
Getting older is worrying when you start to think about the possibility of being a bachelor forever if you don’t find a good woman soon.
It’s also difficult finding the right time to share my history with potential girlfriends, too late seems dishonest and too soon would see many running to the hills.
As you get older life gets more complex and filled with problems, lucky for me I have nothing else to do than try overcome all the various hardships life throws my way.
A very well evoked piece

Thank you kindly, it’s one of the few positives of time that you get time to work on improving your mind and soul. I’m in a good place now and the support people show is the icing on the cake. All the best:)
