Resolution

Resolution… Another cliché ridden promise to be broken One more silent thought; the words remain unspoken But still I make another resolution More to myself than any other…another resolution To be kept or to be broken Another promise left unspoken…resolution The time is right the time is now Sixty minutes left to change This time of night feeling so run down And unable to re-arrange that feeling I’ve counted my blessings Washed misfortunes blood from my hands Repented for all of my sins Bowed to my knees a mortal man …Another cliché ridden promise to be broken One more silent thought; the words remain unspoken But still I make another resolution To be kept or to be broken Another promise left unspoken…resolution Twelve Thirty-One of Twenty Twelve I am counting down the hours Ten past Five, then Five past Ten And then Eleven bells will ring… But I can’t make it to the midnight hour Can’t ring in the fresh New Year Can’t live down the daily stresses And conquer the things I fear And as the clock at once strikes midnight I hear the tolling of the bell But my eyes remain unopened As I try to break the spell I give up that which breaks me I have to clear my head and heart Find a new direction and let it take me Before the past tears me apart Another year has came and went In recent memory, one of the worst Again, as mortal man I must repent Pay the cost for those I’ve cursed …Another cliché ridden promise to be broken One more silent thought, the words remain unspoken But still I make another resolution To be kept or to be broken Another promise left unspoken…resolution Close my eyes and make a wish As the lights all fade to black… And in that silence the truth is born…my resolution
