January

Clock strikes midnight

Fireworks light

For a moment it feels just right

Smiling faces

Warm embraces

Possibilities all ignite

Then the next morning

I drive to work

People annoy me

And I'm spilling coffee all over my favorite shirt

Why do my New Year's resolutions

Never reach their full evolutions?

Faced with the day

It all fades away

In January

This year I'll be

Patient, I'll see

Beauty in all the little things

Promises fill

The room, I still

Fear it all melts way before spring

Cuz the next morning

We're late for school

People annoy us

And being nice just ends up making us feel like fools

Why do our New Year's resolutions

Never reach their full evolutions?

Faced with the day

It all fades away

In January

Writing down a list of all the changes

Plans and fancy phrases

Can't it be enough to always

Try to do our best

What if my New Year's resolutions

Never held any real solutions?

What if each day

Sunshine or gray

I wake up and say

That I'll let this day

Take me
