Insurmountable odds?

I awoke at 4:00am with a worried mind,
Thinking about the future churns my guts,
Iโ€™m concerned I wonโ€™t have the strength I need,
To deal with the level of change required,
With age I have less will, I need less mental โ€˜weightโ€™,
Navigating some days now is a real challenge,
I simply donโ€™t have the energy or drive for much,
I feel constantly fatigued and yet I cannot sleep,
Iโ€™m running out of time, resources and loved ones,
Work seems over demanding with load increasing,
My mind keeps shutting down when I need it,
Like it has a constantly tripping surge protector,
But I donโ€™t know how much of this is real,
And how much is my mind fabricating woe,
But itโ€™s constantly on my mind, and it is exhausting,
Who knows if I will ever truly rest.
