It’s a new year but this time, I have no point to prove.
I don’t need to change who I am to please you.
Why do I want a new me when I always knew…
…that this version of me will always improve.
You are under no obligation to be who you were, yes!
But this time, I’m not going to beat myself up and stress
trying to make Resolutions, only to regret
trying to be a good person only to impress
So instead of trying, I will simply be
And rather become the best version of me
In what I say, do, hear and see
Instead of living one year at a time
I choose to live one day at a time
Calm myself in the storm because everything will be fine
and stay motivated by choosing to be kind
After all, what matters the most in life?
Isn’t it self-improving, having one another and overcoming strife?
So new year, old me because the old me is the real me
…and the “new year, new me” is what I pretend to be
