Reaching old age
Oh the inevitable
Wishing it's beatable
Incessant are pains
Numbness of veins
Giddy goes brain
Outlive I wish
Longing more bliss
Dying is nightmarish

GROWING OLD
Gloomy life's stage
Reaching old age
Oh the inevitable
Wishing it's beatable
Incessant are pains
Numbness of veins
Giddy goes brain
Outlive I wish
Longing more bliss
Dying is nightmarish
