Today it's said ....

Today it's said, is the first day
Of the rest of my life.
And how I long for that illusion.
But really today, for me is another day of grief.
The continuing undramatic saga of everyday life?
A bitter sweet experience of strife,
The strong sour taste clings at every opportunity.
In and around, dripping wet, dripping slow.
Dry and arid I've become, stifled here I cease to grow.
