The New Year

The New Year is approaching
But I’m not prepared
Emotions that are torturing me
Have left me in despair

The months are moving forward
But I have not fulfilled
My hopes are frozen solid
My thoughts will congeal

Will I acquire happiness
Will I remain the same
And will get the riches
And happiness I claim

The thoughts are battling inside me
Not granting me reprieve
As days are flying past me
The forsaken wishes that I grieve

And life’s accelerating
But I am getting by
My goals are dreams are waiting
And I’m wondering why

So may be the New Year will finally reveal
And manifest my destiny
And my aspirations will not appear surreal

Because if my life’s ambitions
Are truly meant to be
They will undoubtedly surface
And set my spirit free
