New Year

New Year

To face a new year 
from the depths of my soul
Is like facing a fear
And not letting it go 
A new beginning of being
And of not being scared
To fight through this battle
And pretend that I cared
A time to be positive 
And start life anew
To push through the past 
Not stick in it like glue
But the climb up this hill
Is far too steep
I’ve no energy left
And my future looks bleak
This mask- how it slips now
I just want to hide
I’m scared of myself 
There’s nothing left inside…

Wonderfully composed! There is hope by the way, even when your brain tells you there isn't.
