So, what about your age?

So, what about your age 

Gives you the right to quit life?

You walked away from responsibility

When you were at my current life stage

I'll let all of you doubters know, I have a plan for my life

I don't have time or the energy to listen to your babbling incoherent advice

If I did, I fear it would make a never ending strife

Obviously your words will be immediately discarded. 

I've doubled down on my self as I'm going to keep providing

I have plans for the upcoming year as the end of this most painful year

draws near I'm aware my damaged heart has hardened

I have a question about something I previously mentioned

So, what about your age, gives you the right to quit life?

your poem is very powerful

 

I'll give my own answer to your question

.. there are several suicide stories in which the suicide note has

been reported.. one mentioned the man loved his family but there

was too much pain to continue

 

Sometimes cancer patients want to end their lives before the physical

pain gets excruciating

Collin Powell

Died age 84. He did not quit life at age 84, at age 84, life fired him. He wrote a few books, full of advice. He earned the right through experience.s far beyond our meager amassmemts of advice worthiness. Trump will die in ignorance. He refused to translate his experiences into a successful acceptible rhetoric. He could live to one hundred and die giving foul advice. Most age levels are just numbers.
