      It’s a new day,

      The sun is shining bright

      But in my heart, the dread remains

      I am empty and in pain.

       

      Money’s gone, wasted down the drain

      Kept chasing losses with no gain

      But I could not help myself to refrain

       

      So I’m starting anew

      No more will I go askew

      No more will I allow money to define me

      I am me, I am kind, with blessings to see

       

      I will focus on what I have

      Live in the present and learn to save

      Forsake illusions of grandeur

      So afar off and not near

       

      I will accept the now and wait for the morrow

      Put the losses behind me without any sorrow

      I will live life to the full

      Without a penny to ridicule

      For the best things in life ARE free

      But it’s in the waiting that torments me !

      Your fourth line of the 3rd stanza resonated with me – “I am me, I am kind”
      I find that’s how I feel. I have done a terrible, irresponsible thing but that is not how I think of myself. I am a kind person, I think of others before myself, I feel others’ pain and can hardly deal with it.
      we will arise from this. I believe in you and me
