New Year's Resolutions

New Year’s Resolutions

All my New Year’s resolutions
are excellent solutions.
I try hard not to break them.
So, I, never ever make them.

It must be great to have the strength,
willpower at any length
a promise to yourself
satisfying no one else. 

The greatest sadness in the world,
is when New Year’s Day unfurls,
and you must part with what you like,
hiding good things from your sight.

Abnegation cannot be.
No changing things for me.
All is well just like it is.
I guess I’m just a hedonist.
