New Year, New Beginnings
A New Year to signify
New beginnings
That transition,
That moment of self reflection,
Has helped me realize
Although the people
And situations around me
May not change,
It doesn't mean I can't
I have no control over them,
No hope of transforming
Their lives
But, I still have the option
To salvage mine
So, here's to a fresh start,
A brand new introduction
No longer will I wallow
In the misery of those around me
No longer will I allow them
To dictate my direction
No longer will I laze about,
Doing nothing out of melancholy
I will take hold of the reigns
Keeping my life at bay,
And I will start to steer
Forward on my own path
A path of milestones,
A road of hopes,
All paving the way
Toward my dreams
