Happy New Year, Janet December 31, 1998 So this is how the year ends for me I’ve got one guy interested in me Well, maybe two and I have another couple of million That, well, aren’t interested. Kind of like last year It’s a shame That I had to go through so much this year And it has all made me think That I should be doing more with my life And I should be experiencing more And I should be living more It’s like there is a little time bomb In my head and it wants to go off And now it’s just biding time I guess that is what I have been doing All of these years too So what do I have to show for it A few more scars Mental and physical That is a funny way to look at things, though the scars and I don’t know what I have to show for it All this time people have been telling me That I am worth it And that I have value And it is as if I just don’t want to listen Or I just can’t hear them That’s just how my mind works I guess that is how my life goes I’m one more year closer to the Millennium And I am one more year closer to death It’s like that in a way I have a timer I’m just waiting for everything to happen So, Janet, Happy New Year Hope it is better than last year And hope you get everything you want Happy New Year, Janet Copyright Janet Kuypers.
