New Year, Same Me

No matter what I do
I am the same
I am the same little girl 
all those years ago

No matter what I do
the world is still as grey 
as all those years ago 

New year, new me
the same insecure teenager
crying over her stale hair

Resolutions becoming unkept promises
school feeling like a second home 
gone before dawn back after dusk

And tears that shed on my childhood bed 
felt like it was nearly the end.

Thanks for sharing this. God bless you. Meanwhile, I greet you with a Joyous New Year with this prayer from the Bible in Numbers 6:24-26, "The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."
