Annie Ning - Starting Over

For a while,
I was trapped.
Stuck in a endless vortex of the gathering days
Wallowing in a pool of my own ways
Sinking in the center of life's fiery blaze
Wishing I had my own dossier
To show me who I was.
Life was not going the way I'd planned,
And reality had slapped me with it's ugly hand
The Earth without notice had been spammed
Happiness itself was low on demand.
Where were those days that were so well spent,
The joyful times that came and went
I guess it's too late now to give up and repent
So why not just start over?
Place myself back on the right track,
Give the world a break and cut it some slack
And with all due respects slap reality back,
Stop foolin' around and make a comeback
Into life, into living
Not to resent life,
But to take it by the hand.
