A much-awaited blank slate<\/p>\n

A fresh commencement<\/p>\n

A new beginning<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Millions flock<\/p>\n

With hopeful hearts<\/p>\n

And passionate gazes<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Purchase a membership<\/p>\n

Begin an instrument<\/p>\n

Preserve the coin<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stop smoking<\/p>\n

Quit biting your nails<\/p>\n

End negative self-talk<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do better<\/p>\n

Be better<\/p>\n

Live better<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Newfound confidence<\/p>\n

In a person, just the same<\/p>\n

In a year, just the same<\/p>\n

As before<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A new package<\/p>\n

Wrapping glimmers beneath<\/p>\n

An optimistic bow<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Inside a gray waste<\/p>\n

Previous aspirations<\/p>\n

Tossed aside<\/p>\n

A mangled mess of guilt awry<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pointlessness is relative<\/p>\n

Some cling to goals<\/p>\n

Triumph in the struggle<\/p>\n

And come out champions of their mind<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Most others agree<\/p>\n

A new year<\/p>\n

Is a number.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Weightless<\/p>\n

Baseless<\/p>\n

Worthless<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The moment motivation grips you<\/p>\n

Run with it<\/p>\n

Awaiting that square on your calendar<\/p>\n

Is an absurd venture<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Move your body<\/p>\n

And achieve<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One life to live<\/p>\n

Why spend it waiting?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
