A New Beginning

There’s a glimmer of hope in the air,

And yet so close

To being plunged into total despair.

The money’s gone,

And it wasn’t fun,

And I should have walked away

For so long,

But now I feel strangely unburdened.

It’s an expensive lesson,

But some pay with their lives,

And I am still breathing,

And I feel more alive.

Money sucks the soul away,

Beneath the fleeting joy a win brings,

And somehow I forget,

Everything.

Somehow I forget,

EVERYTHING.

How can I wake up feeling happier,

With nothing to my name?

How can I feel less guilty,

By accepting all the blame?

Coming back from the brink,

So many times,

And now I’m definitely out.

I’m definitely out.

This is a new beginning.

Here’s to vanquishing my obsession with winning.

This is a new beginning,

And I don’t have to be winning…

Just singing.

Singing.

This is why I’m singing.

This is the end.

This is the beginning. X
