It Isn’t Over (A Farewell To Bright Days)

โ€”

Gone are the days of feeling so free

Gone are the days of humor and glee

All that’s left now is a broken down shell

Trapped in aged body, a personal Hell

Sit in the dark, remember the past

End is beginning, beginning at last

“Older and wiser” is merely a lie

Bright days are gone in the blink of an eye

I sit here and wait, almost wish for the end

Will has been broken to a point it can’t mend

And just when I think I can’t sink any lower

The reality hits that it still isn’t over

ยฉThe Beginning At Last

  4. I can relate. Also reminds me of when a friend said to me she is spending New Year’s Eve with a bottle of champagne, When I asked her why she replied Because I am hoping that after I have finished the bottle I will have finally figured out how I got to be the age I am. I officially stopped drinking all hard liquor when I turned 60 because no matter how I felt each new day I could no longer tolerate having a hangover. My reminiscent thoughts of past years are spend in memories over either some beer or some wine.

    1. I enjoy a whiskey from time to time, but sparingly these days. I cannot handle the hangovers either. Long gone are those days.
