New year resolutions kill my soul

New year resolutions kill my soul.

They make me hold high, high hopes only for me to drop a 

burnt-out sparkler and lie to myself with an overused phrase,

"maybe next year."

New years is the day of lies.

I get high on whims and confidence only to be

five months into the year and not have a spark of progress.

I am reminded of how inept my efforts are.

In short, I feel useless.

I am a sunflower seed that is chewed

 and spit out by the time the last digit of four numbers change.

 I lose hope all over again.
