New Year
Yet, another year has come and gone
Leaving some still wondering where it all went wrong
Some say to themselves "thank goodness it's over, I'm glad it didn't last"
Left with memories some good and some bad but, it's all in the past
Searching for a fresh new start some anticipate another new year
They cheer with family and friends in the present and are glad it's finally here
Others sit with no one or nothing to toast to as they pour themselves a drink
Praying this year will bring the change they need as their lonely vessel is ready to capsize and sink
Playoffs for the Superbowl is nearing and soon another football season will come to an end
Ice skates and pucks are on their way as hockey season kicks back off again
Unlike these seasons and holidays you don't want your life to keep repeating itself like a broken record
Learn from past experiences to push on to a brighter future, being fierce like a leopard
Set obtainable goals or a habit you wish to kick for your new year resolution
If you don't you'll surely find yourself in the same spot next year praying for a different solution
Change doesn't occur sitting around on a standstill as life passes you by waiting for all of the answers to fall into your lap
It takes some work, effort, drive, and determination on your part if you're finally fed up with dealing with the same old crap
A new year isn't truly what's needed if you're looking for change and a fresh new start
You have to have the will power it takes to get up off your butt and do whatever it takes following your instincts and your heart
Strive in the present towards a better future and just do your very best
Remember in doing so we are all wired differently so stop comparing yourself to the rest
