     " You got plans for tonight?"

DATE : 12 : 31 : 18 : 11 : 35 PM

A year in the mirror

New Year's Eve

Last year I didn't watch the ball drop

It isn't that exciting

But, here we are again

It's almost like everything resets


" My friend, will you fly with me into the fire, it's New Year's Eve"


Reset

My birthday is in the beginning of the year

The eleventh of January

The eleventh day of the year

I painted my nails in January

We listened to the love club when you drove me home on my birthday

I updated with the lyric from eighteen on my birthday 

Then those nails brought me shame


" We're allowed tonight to pretend we're free, promise me on New Year's Eve"


Reset

Then I had to say goodbye

Goodbye to someone as they went home

The home on the otherside of the world

I still think of her from time to time

Sowadee

Goodbye


" Oh friend come get high with me hand in hand, it's New Year's Eve" 


Reset

Then the summer came

I experienced my passion, pain, and desire

Syre

I met a person who I also love

Olivia

Liv

Remember when I asked you to go walking on the trails

What I would give to live that week forever

Ever


" Baby have a happy New Year's Eve"


Reset

Then the fall came

And everything fell apart

It taught me 

Did it break me

I got to know me

See me

In the same mirror this year's looking into

Almost time to reset


" Have a happy New Year's Eve"


Almost time to reset

New Year's Resolution

Here comes the end

I learned that I want to make people happy

I am a person who feeds off of validation

My happy is moldable and easily disposable

You can take it from me 

My happiness can be taken by the meaning of your words

I learned so much

I over-think

I over-react

I over-indulge

I over-compensate

I need to get over it



So here we are, another one, another gone


Stop living your life for others. Live your life for yourself. Live your life. It's yours.
