At last,
an end to it.
The endless days
of stress
and insomnia,
the internal battles
with yourself,
the outside pressure
to hurry up and decide
the next phase of your life
have ceased.
All suddenly gone,
disappeared,
following the single,
simple announcement
of what you've finally decided.
Now,
at last,
you can relax
without the constant worry
at the back of your mind.
And if you're lucky,
(luckier than most)
you might get in
a few years of peace
before the hounds are loosed again.
