A New Start

[lauren05]

It’s a new day,

The sun is shining bright

But in my heart, the dread remains

I am empty and in pain.

 

Money’s gone, wasted down the drain

Kept chasing losses with no gain

But I could not help myself to refrain

 

So I’m starting anew

No more will I go askew

No more will I allow money to define me

I am me, I am kind, with blessings to see

 

I will focus on what I have

Live in the present and learn to save

Forsake illusions of grandeur

So afar off and not near

 

I will accept the now and wait for the morrow

Put the losses behind me without any sorrow

I will live life to the full

Without a penny to ridicule

For the best things in life ARE free

But it’s in the waiting that torments me !

Your fourth line of the 3rd stanza resonated with me – “I am me, I am kind”
I find that’s how I feel. I have done a terrible, irresponsible thing but that is not how I think of myself. I am a kind person, I think of others before myself, I feel others’ pain and can hardly deal with it.
we will arise from this. I believe in you and me
