Full of the joys of a fresh year, a fresh start. 2006 began with a bang!

This Year

This year
I'm gonna make it.
This year
I'm gonna be strong.
Careful,
Thoughtful,
Loving,
Positive.

I'm going to
Squash all the
Cobwebs,
Holding me tight
In their silken tomb.
I'm going to
Phoenix from
The ashes of my
Sadness.

This year will be
My new me,
My new strength,
To overcome.
To throw
All my doubts,
Into a cold
Green sea.

This year
I feel a new hope.
I can walk
Again.
No more the bed-ridden,
Self-pitying,
Wretch,
Wallowing in
Menopausal misery.
Wallowing in the
Pleasures of
Impending death,
Imminent release,
From this unbearable,
Shattered life.

From all the pain,
From all the sorrow.
And to free myself,
From the abysses
Of my past.

This year will be
My best year!
