With the New Year fast approaching,
I have been thinking about change.
A change for good.
But what holds me back?
I have time to meet my goals,
I want to reach my goals,
But there are always nagging thoughts.
Why try?
Why bother?
It won't work anyway.
What I really want to change,
Is my mind.
I want to be okay with myself.
I want to get close to people.
I want to trust.
I want to be as amazing as
They try to convince me I am.
But my thoughts always hold me back.
Wouldn't it be amazing to think,
Okay mind, bad attitude,
Fix it cause today is gonna be
a good day.
Wouldn't that be just wonderful?
But that's not how it works.
Changing your thoughts,
The very process that has been
Embedded within you,
Is a very difficult, very conscious change.
I wish so badly it wasn't.
I wish it was easy to be happy
All the time.
Or even most of the time,
But it's not.
It's something you have to work for,
You have to have a real desire for it,
Or you will never obtain it.
But I want to be happy,
I want to change it,
I want to lead a good life and
Achieve my goals.
So I will do my very best,
And I hope you can make a conscious
Effort towards a happier life,
Or help someone close to you.
Know it won't be easy,
But you are never alone.
