Happy New Year to me
Oh this year is gonna be a good one
Cause I can't deal with anything less
Gonna finally clean my room
Organize sweep with the broom
Gonna lose ten pounds
Maybe five
January comes and goes
All the dreams, all the goals
Seem to sit inside the brain
Inciting existential pain
Blame and doubt and guilt and fear
Have made a home for themselves here
Just hopefully for not another year
So I'll call up friends in distant places
Smile at some strangers' faces
Fall in love
Or sleep around
Gonna drink less coffee smoke less pot
Be thankful for what I've got
I won't complain
But it's so hard
Months pass by so behind
Victim of clouded mind
Ignoring sense of self
Wreaks havoc on mental health
Joy and hope gratitude and glee seem so far out of reach to me
But I guess I'll try and see
So Happy New Year to me
Oh this year is gonna be a good one
