Evolving Emotions: Resolve

A much-awaited blank slate

A fresh commencement

A new beginning

Millions flock

With hopeful hearts

And passionate gazes

Purchase a membership

Begin an instrument

Preserve the coin

Stop smoking

Quit biting your nails

End negative self-talk

Do better

Be better

Live better

Newfound confidence

In a person, just the same

In a year, just the same

As before

A new package

Wrapping glimmers beneath

An optimistic bow

Inside a gray waste

Previous aspirations

Tossed aside

A mangled mess of guilt awry

Pointlessness is relative

Some cling to goals

Triumph in the struggle

And come out champions of their mind

Most others agree

A new year

Is a number.

Weightless

Baseless

Worthless

The moment motivation grips you

Run with it

Awaiting that square on your calendar

Is an absurd venture

Move your body

And achieve

One life to live

Why spend it waiting?
