New Year, New Tears

So it's January 1st, 2009. Here we go one more time.

Let's start with reflections
of how the past year
and a day
has gone.

To start bluntly
I could not have stayed sane
had it not been for everyone
that stayed right next to me
in every single hardship
that came to spit at me
right in the face
and all i wished
is that these hardships
didn't chew tobacco.

Friends, family, God
I dedicate this all
to you, and You.

Last year was quite the year
in a way that I realized
just way too many things
even though I know
it contributed to my personal being
in such a positive way.

I had rough times
dark times
high times
fun times
ROFL-worthy times
and somewhere
inside of me
something wishes
that it happened again
and redo every wrong thing i've done.

But i guess that's what the new year is for.

For a 16th chance to do what I can
for my friends
my family
my God
myself.

New years resolutions
are kinda pointless
since i don't normally draw on
paper shirts
and claim that
everything i do
is going to be a good thing
because inevitably
it's not.

Something bad is going to happen
but the best part is
only a possibility
if i come out of it the right way.

So 2009, come at me now.

I dare to face whatever you have.

Because I know I'll get something out of it.
