New Year's

I don’t
Make promises
To life
On New Year’s

I don’t

Tell life
My plans
For the year

The goals I want to accomplish

The things I’d like to do
All my greatest hopes

Why do that

Why show my hand

When really

At this point
I think life
Should be making promises
To me

Think life

Maybe owes me
A little more

Think life

Must earn the right
To hear my dreams
Again

And until then
I’ll just keep them
To myself
