What happens to those thoughts of a better, newer person?
A new year, a new start
A chance to reinvent one’s self
A slate wiped clean, time to start anew
But with it, comes empty promises
With good intentions, that you’ll follow through
But you well know, as in years past,
Hope for this, is not so bright
The past failure’s still lingering back
This time will be different,
You’re integrity’s grown, or so you thought
A month goes by
Not even two or three
You’re back again,
Wondering what happened to your promises
You sit in reflection...
Resolve.
That’s what comes to mind.
So you put it on your list, waiting for, next year to come.
