NEW YEARS RESOLUTION
NEW YEARS RESOLUTION
This time I’ll do it, I truly will, I really will
I know that I have made promises before
When shame came after only a day or two
When I’m back doing it the way I always do
But this time, I’ll keep it going I’m sure
Please don’t make your criticisms so shrill
It’s all those promises I tend never to keep
I mean well you know, but fail every time
Is it having no stamina or just weak resolve
But as an endless cycle will always revolve
This time, long term success will be sublime
They say, what one sows so shall they reap
It never was alcohol abuse or even smoking
Just keeping my word was all it ever was
There was no need to get into such a state
I guess I’m a self-delusionist kind of guy
When my excuse was always Just because
But swearing a pledge, you gotta be joking
