90, 80, counting down;
75 will bring me down;
60, 50, I can't see;
40, 30, don't touch me;
20, 10, I cannot bear.
0, none, it isn't fair.

All those years in front of me,
So many things I can't foresee.
Already life has felt so long;
Why does living feel so wrong?
Uncertainty and fearful thoughts,
How much longer must I rot?

Years and years and years go by,
I cannot stop it, why should I try?
Painful days, weeks, months, and years
Likely will be filled with tears.
How much longer to endure
Until I find a faithful cure?

Will I make it to the end?
So much time to comprehend.
Every day, a battle ground;
Every night, as if I've drowned.
So long I've lived, so much to come,
My body begs me to succumb.
