I need to reinvent myself to get from there to now

I need to reinvent myself but I’m not certain how

I need to introduce myself in a very different way

but when I meet new people I’m not sure what to say

I need to reinvent my life and plan a new direction

not sit and wonder what to do in unfocused self reflection

all my life I have been driven; in my work and in my leisure

success and achievement was a very careful measure

But my working life is ending and I have time twixt now and death

to decide how best to spend my life before that final breath

will I trek around Australia or sing in a quartet

will I garden or crochet, make environmental bags of net

will I shout out the inequality I see in this great land

wave a flag, advocate, take a strong and informed stand

will I seek further study and be knowledgeable and wise

share my findings with like thinkers; put blinkers on my eyes

Any change brings reflection and the future is not certain

But I know I’m gonna have a ball before the final curtain

Just need to reinvent myself lol
