I’ll let last year’s vices
live only in memory.
And not let last year’s regrets
be apart of my future’s chemistry.
I’ll spend the last hours of an old life
the way I wish to live with my blithe renewed mind.
I won’t waste another minute of this great life
worrying about what I’ve left behind.
I’ll look only to my future
and no longer dwell on my ugly past.
Hard times may come my way
but no longer will I let them last.
