[aculeus]

"I've had disappointments
and I've learned to cope.
I've lost friends,
... a marriage
I've lost things in life."

Needs a little work.

"I've had disappointments and I've learned to cope. I've lost friends, a marriage, a presidential election. I've lost things in life. I'm tellin' you. Boy howdy."
