As I lie in bed
Thinking about this new year
I feel my skin
STRETCHING apart
Even though
I am a Desert
On an ISLAND
In the middle of nowhere
Compared to your physical size
I feel SMALL
I want to break myself open
Like a piñata
SMASHED
Beaten hard with a stick
You always said
Each year
Makes for a new start
I threw my head into a pillow
And BREATHED heavily
Even before this year
This month
This day
This SECOND
I knew I was more
That extra mile
The HYPE of that begging
And the HAPPINESS at the end
