this is your new life from now on


this is your new life from now on
your other life is over

none of it now matters
you won't need it anymore

if you run across it,
you won't even pick it up

like money from
an overthrown government

like ideas from a theory
proven false and misleading

this you your new you from now on
your old you dissolved

this is a fresh beginning
you may now reinvent yourself

you never dreamed this before
you never thought it

this is now beyond the scope
of your previous paradigm

if your past you met your new you
you would not relate with yourself

this is your new life from now on
your other life is over

none of it now matters
you won't need it anymore
