A year to remember
Yet a year to forget
From January to December
A year full of regrets
A year of sorrow
A year of pain
A year of no tomorrow
A year of no gain

A year of happiness
A year of joy
A year full of cheerfulness
A year of kids getting a brand new toy
A year of comfort
A year full of laughter
A year full of wonder
A year of what might happen after

A year that changes us
A year that pushes us away
A year to discuss
Of all the things that made us who we are today
Yet it was still a year of war
Still a year full of hate
A year of people who are still poor
A year full of people who want to debate

Yet a year has passed
And questions still asked
Will you let go of your past?
Or will you hide it behind a mask?
We may not have  the power of how are year is going to be
But we do have the power on who we are going to be
So let your personality reflect in the mirror
And let us make this new year a better year
