So it begins

And there is no way to turn back

Spent quite some time in denial

And tried to force it right on track

Hoping but to no avail

As I collected cast down parts

Slowly but surely making a brand new start

Forty-one

Head first into the great unknown

At forty-one blackbird has flown

I'm leaving it all behind

So determined to feel alive at forty-one

In all honesty

It felt like losing solid ground

A branch off the family tree

Everything I knew shut down

Waking up at 4:00 a.m

To jump at the chance, I'm going to live again

Forty-one

Head first into the great unknown

At forty-one blackbird has flown

I'm leaving it all behind

So determined to feel alive at forty-one
