Breaking Resolutions This new year of 2014, I aspire to be a brand new me, And I say this every year, Trying to make a change for the better. Giving up halfway through, I don't have the strength. Start again later on, there is always time. Lying to myself so I don't feel I've missed my chance. I'm going to take the leap and risk the chance Of becoming a stranger to me. I've run out of excuses, I've run out of time, It all begins this year I will be a model of strength For myself, and I will work to be better. There will be no more waiting, I better Get moving, before my chances Slim, I have saved up enough strength By just waiting for good things to come to me. Too long I hid away, wasting my few years. It is my turn to make use of my time. I will no longer spend my time Holding back my better Words, releasing the stress from the closed up years. I will be who I want to be, chances Are they won't love it, but I will be me Just he same, they will see my hidden strength. I want to believe I have the strength To power through without a doubt, it will take effort, times Will darken and they will be relit and I will stand as me. No more worries about what they think is better. I will do as I please then there will be a chance That I will succeed in the coming year. I am breaking down the wall I built over the years, I am regaining lost strength, Fighting for my fair chance To prove I haven't wasted my time. I am creating a better #life for myself, in which I am free to be me. I am the me I've wanted, it has taken too many years. I am getting better, I have found new strength. Why have I waited all this time to take this simple chance?
