Another New Year’s Fail
Because You Weren’t Serious
The New Year’s resolution
Is not a true solution
Why set a date
And hesitate
You NEED this “evolution”
Don’t spin another New Years tale
With “plans” you make to no avail
That change you want
Becomes a taunt
THAT’S why your resolutions fail
The reason that you’re waiting
And still procrastinating
You’ve made it clear
You’re not sincere
That’s why you’re hesitating
That habit you have come to hate
You’ll likely only duplicate
This year don’t say
“On New Year’s Day”
If you want change, why plan to wait
You do that thing you’re not to do
But not the thing you ought to do
Don’t make a vow
Just start right NOW
Why WAIT to be that better "You"

YES. I don't make New Year's resolutions for this very reason. Well written.
"Start now, not later. Resolutions can't wait for a date. Be the change you seek, without hesitation."
I couldn't have said it better myself. I've always felt New Year's resolutions are bullshit. Just do it, why wait. People are weird
