So - - - 2024
Resolutions for the year,
Does anybody keep them?
But just for kicks
I'll make myself a list then . . .
Be up by seven - no - eight
In the morning.
Keep snooze as a backup
For a more relaxed dawning . . .
Though three items is all
You seem to recall,
Can't you find a way to
Remember more - say four?
And STOP saying sorry!
You know it irritates.
And self doubt and insecurities
It exacerbates.
And you know that Superwoman
Is too far from what you are
So stop beating yourself up...
No one can reach the stars.
You'll save yourself embarrassment
If at times you smile and nod along.
Don't make it so obvious
That you've no clue what's going on!
And when the penny drops.
It's not a sudden revelation.
Remember, you're just catching up
With those in your association.
Don't make yourself those promises
That you know you cannot keep.
Such as losing weight
Or getting better sleep.
You're obscure, unique
A little quirky and quite strange.
This is how you're known and loved.
It's important. DO NOT change!
