New Life
by Laurie Kolp

Is your new life
treating you well,
or do you wish
for better times long gone?

Once upon a time you were
a loving, considerate
and thoughtful soul
who put your family first,
but now you are
out of control
hurting everyone
who really loves you-
your parents,
your family,
and me; kicking
us out of your life
for a controlling witch
who is brain-washing you.

Are you losing your mind,
or simply going through
a mid-life crisis from Hell?

When will you come back to me?
