Just for today...I feel like buying a tee-shirt that says Worthless Piece of Shit and wearing it for the rest of my life

Just for today...I don’t feel like being sorry for anyone else, I want to wallow in my own self pity

Just for today...I feel everyone else is climbing the stairway to heaven while I am clinging on the edge of Mt. Everest - couldn’t it at least be Mt. Kilimanjaro?

Just for today...I feel the young and rich are the kings and queens and I am the pawn that is disregarded and knocked off of the chess board - no longer in the game

Just for today...I feel I’m standing alone, helplessly, watching people I love deteriorate in body and mind as my own strength diminishes

Just for today...I feel I’ve gone 10 rounds with greedy corporations and am standing, bruised and bloodied, about to be knocked out by their ruthlessness and power - cheated and defeated

Just for today...I feel that nothing matters anymore, mountains of energy spent for accomplishments as insignificant as tiny grains of sand in a giant sand dune, and I might as well just give up

Just for today...I feel the young are advancing with dreams of a future with no comprehension or empathy  for the pressures facing the baby boomer generation 

Tomorrow...I will remember the good things in my life and know that God will take care of me and none of the above really matters

Tomorrow...I will remember that I experienced the sixties and I wouldn't trade it to be young again

And Tomorrow... I will add letters to the back of my tee-shirt: And Proud of It.
