New Years Day

Hitting the restart button of life,
The new year has sprung to reality
I still feel no farther from strife
I still see no improvement in my ability
I can not cope better
I do not feel better
I am still me
No calendar is going to change that
No instructional DVD
No random stranger…
My life is still me being me….
Why does everyone
Get so…
Worked up about
The flick of a switch
With which
Brings us a new year?
A new year,
As if there is no offer
Pardon my being a scoffer
But there is false hope
I see
I the Author
One moment in time
Anytime
Not just this time
Can change you as a man
Change your plans
Create new demands
But what does this night hold
Nothing of gravity
Sadly its
Just such
A travesty
To see upon
The masses
Whom get up off
Their lazy asses
And raise a beer
Thinking their life is changed
With it being a new year…
