New Year

Even if there’s a lot that remains to heavily weigh within me;
I commit to taking more peaceful,
strong and centered steps,
To being more of peaceful service,
As I learn from those who have truly been there for me,

And as for those who haven’t,
As for those who seemingly couldn’t,
As for those who I thought would,
May I waste less energy on trying to change what I truly can never make open to changing,
Or who just.. won’t change..,

I commit to listening to more of another’s experience,
Which I feel has helped me feel less alone in my difficult experiences,

Although I’ve been struggling with actually fulfilling what I’ve committed to,
Well,
I’ll just keep on trying to realign with the resolutions I failed to fulfill again and again in previous years,

May this be a better year,
May I become stronger and stronger,
As I proceed more and more out there,

May I continue hanging in there,
Regardless of what truly is to come,
In this new year
