As we know nothing else.

If they did, they might jump
Off a cliff
And get it over with

Such a true remarkable poem about being old. Being in the old age yourself is the best option to create a poem/poems about this subject. This poem sounds honest in the ears of younger poets. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing poem. To be honest, I am a bit shocked by your words, but I will get over it. T.Q.
