Hello January

Well here we once again sit just you and I
As once again I must admit that I didn't really try
My intent was so sincere in conquering that big hill
But what became clear was I did not have the will

As once I started I kept on looking back
For as soon as I departed I felt this sense of lack
I'd try to forget and just keep going straight
But my will would not let and thus sealed my fate

But oh how I tried in that very first week
For I haven't lied in all of what I speak
But the time soon came when I finally fell
Oh how I feel so lame as to you January I tell

But this new year it is going to be different
This time I will be clear and do as I meant
I will not stumble or fall not one more chocolate
Wow guess what I just saw, so... never mind I quit

Beautiful poem Vincent - straightforward and realistic. We often set goals only to look behind instead of focusing on the goal ahead. You've said it best. Very well written!
