We grow old not from an old age

We grow old not from an old age
Not from the lived years.
We grow old for fatigue,
For offenses and from sins.

From melancholy and hopelessness,
From unfulfilled love,
From everyday hopelessness,
Daily vanity

From cares that are only multiplied
From problems that don't decide
We grow old before age
Because souls are dried up.

Yes you are so much right:we grow old not because of physical or mental daily work .we grow old because of every day worries and troubles.
Thank you for this nice poem of yours.
