Where once I was scared and sad
Now I am relieved - but quite mad!
Bits of me have gone
But the memory lingers on
And all-in-all I'm quite glad....
Cos I couldn't go on as before
With the pain, and the blues and the gore
Now I'm learning to cope
(Though I occasionally mope)
And all-in-all I have more....
More time for myself and my kin
More reason to try to get thin!
As the old me 'ends'
I've made so many new friends
That now I can start to begin....
To look forward to what lies ahead
Instead of wishing I was dead
Though I may often moan
I'm no longer alone
I now have a future instead
