Paying the Toll
Ready for change to take place,
I face the challenge with grace,
Chasing away the fear,
A new year calls me near,
I can hear the whispers,
Little whiskers tickling my brain,
Ingraining a need to be freed,
I've already agreed to comply,
Indeed I know why I should,
It's a good deed to proceed with,
Withered and wilting spreading a seed,
Pulling bad habits like weeds,
Succeeding in my endeavor,
I end every year in my favor,
A new flavor waits to be tasted,
No longer wasting away inside,
The ride is gliding along,
A strong wind at my back,
I picked up the slack,
Putting wheels on the track,
Stacked with information,
I station myself in position,
I'm my own opposition,
The decision has been made,
I played a serious role,
It almost stole my soul,
Until I rolled over,
And see who paid the toll,
I relinquish control to the whole.
