resolutions

come december every year we tend to take stock
of the things we set out to do when it was 00:00 on the clock

of the new things that we hoped to try 

and some old things we wanted to modify 

somehow everything seems possible at the start

even those half marathons, not for the faint of heart 

but as the months go by the optimism is faded

leaving us only more and more jaded

12 months go by with another 12 to follow

should we make a new list today or wait until tomorrow 

why does this happen at the start of every year 

january arrives and fills us with fear

because december is just a few months away 

and the cycle will repeat until the end of day
