A new year, a new me
Out with the old,
In with the new
Isn’t this what we are told?
***
In this instance
I’ll have to agree,
My direction in life
Did a complete three sixty.
***
I took a chance
Fool on me,
Lesson learnt
Just leave it be.
***
Happiness is subjective
Part of our destiny,
It’ll come and go
Ups and downs especially.
***
One day at a time
Hold your head high,
Love in your heart
As you say goodbye.
***
Release the tears
Just let them flow,
Take your time
In letting go.
***
Sometimes it’s hard
You get what you need,
Not what you want
So let it bleed.
***
Hold on tight
Mourn freely,
Take the time
To heal ideally.
***
Pick yourself up
From the floor,
Harden your heart
Walk out the door.
***
Live life on your terms
It’s okay to be alone,
Woo your own heart
Stay in the friend zone.
***
A new year, a new me
Leave the hurt behind,
Starting with a clean slate
Scarred heart and mind.
