The new year

January 5, 2023

"This new year . . . What is it supposed to mean?

A new beginning?
An escape?
Something just all the same?
Or something that we can just blame?

It all still feels dull
Not even the sun will show
Just another year passing
As people come and go

What does it all mean?
What is the point?
Is it to seek a new life
Or simply to end one?

It all feels quite boring
Nothing at all has seemed to change
People are still buying
And people are still suffering

This new year . . . Has only really just begun

Why be so quick to judge?
Why say it's all just a waste?
Look back at the past, see that it's really not just something to fill the empty space

This new year . . . What is it supposed to mean?

Maybe it's not for me to answer
Maybe I'll never find the answer

For now I'll just take it one step at a time
Taking one deep breath while closing my eyes
Maybe I'll fall, maybe I won't want to get back up
Staring at the night sky as the stars shimmer above
Hearing my own breathe and the cold taking over
It sounds nice but I can't stay forever

I'll force myself back up, take one look back and smile as I say my last goodbye

This new year won't push me down
It's a long way to the end but after all
It's only just begun
Who's to say that it won't keep me smiling . . .

This new year . . . What does it mean?
To find your answer
You'll just have to wait and see"
