Last year

Its the new year and I start with a clean slate
this year love blooms in my garden and I'm weeding out hate.

Last year? not so good a happiness miser
I learned a few things and I feel ten years wiser.

Im shedding the ugliness that was hanging around
while reaching inside to turn my frown upside down

I knew how to be sad there was no need to rehearse
and Im pretty sure happiness is misery reversed.

My life was so chaotic on the brink of destruction
but Im under new management and begining reconstruction.

Im going to behave myself and love thy neighbor
take care of buisness and enjoy the fruits of my labor.

No lying to myself with selective memory lapsing
or sitting on a prison shelf as my whole world is collapsing.

With all these imbeciles Im no longer stuck
the fakers and haters who wish me bad luck.

With snakes and black widows Im no longer messing
And Im wishing myself a new years blessing.

I have to admit last year was really a test
everything I believed in was put to the test.(Karma?)

It sure seems last year gave me an A$$ kicking
but he best thing is that I am alive and still kicking!
