Well, it’s New Year’s Eve, so hard to believe.
This year passed by in the blink of an eye.
The world feels the same; I’ve only myself to blame.
I should’ve done more for those I adore.
Thus, regrets sit like a pit as my stomach throws a fit.
It feels like it’s time to get it right as my body puts up a fight.
So many things set me back, yet determination is not what I lack.
The key is finding the right combination, but the lock is my frustration.
Will I ever get things correct or will I always be a reject?
There are some who think I’m great, but my own brain can’t relate.
This self of mine has a skewed perception; I’ve always carried this misconception.
There is nothing much I can do; nobody can change your thoughts but you.
And now, a new year is just about here, time to get my booty in gear.
No excuses anymore; there is always a path with an open door.

We can always do better… let’s keep trying. 😉 Happy New Year to you. And just a reminder, you were the first friend who ever followed me here on WP on my other blog. I started blogging there, May 14, 2014. Where does the time go?

They say that time flies when you’re having fun, even if it’s not constant… Maybe this year will be better?

I’m glad too! I think every year has the potential to be better. I suppose it’s all in how we perceive things.

Maybe, but I can’t help thinking it might be more than that…
