Tears in my Eyes

I'm smiling
I'm smiling
Tears in my eyes 
Ready to fall 
'Bout ready to cry

I'm happy
I'm happy
Well at least i'm trying 
To be

This is a new year
A new year
Time for a different me

A better me
A better me
One thats not going to 
Lie in unhappiness

I'm smiling 
I'm happy
This is a new year
Time for a better me

Tears in my eyes
I wipe them dry
No time for past cries
A new me
A new me.....

    Breana, this poem has such universal appeal. We have all looked at the new year as the start of new life. Unfortunately, the day you wrote this was the day my father had a stroke. He died a short time after. I just had to read it and now I feel "'bout ready to cry." Beautiful poem. Love, Carolyn

    Always a new you, Breana! Not to be a patriarch but, keep smiling and be happy. Although I don't comment as often as I should (due to my crazy work schedule) I do read many poems/poets on this site when time permits. You are a very talented writer. In my opinion, the tears your eyes spill, should be tears of joy and accomplishment - for your poetry exhudes your integrity and your honest sincerity. Peace always, John
