On New Years Day

poem by: Ann Parks
Written on Jan 02, 2019 

Last year was one of the best
Had work, made friends, cleared debts.
Today is New Years Day
I stayed in and watched Ben Hur
and a Bio on the Beatles.
I felt I deserved a rest as
I've worked hard last year......
but inside feel scared
and sad that life is draining
slowly slowly away from me,
I wasted most of it 
I hurt others
I was so arrogant
yet timid and damaged.
I hope I can build 
on last years success
and use very wisely 
all the New Years 
fate will grant to me!
