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
The fantasies congealed

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

The thoughts are battling inside of 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 hopes are waiting
And I am wondering why

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