I feel like this is going to be a better year

A better year for me

That leads to a better me

I know this year is an election year

So it’ll probably end up being a dumpster fire

But for me I’m going to make it a good year

Full of memories and love

Full of growth

Full of hope

This year is going to be a good year

A year for me to become not a new me

But a better version of myself

Cause I don’t want to be a new me

Theres parts of me that need to change and parts

That need to grow

But I dream of a better me

Through all things

A me that can be all things to all people

A me that can reach out when I need to

A me that speaks words of comfort and wisdom

That grows in my relationship with God

That chases him with a reckless heart

That chases my dreams

And chases love

A me that finds the love that I once had for others

That was buried and suppressed and twisted by

11 years of seeing the worst of humanity

A return to love for my fellow man

A return to the trusting person I once was

A return to the grace of my father

A return and a renewing of me

This I pray

This I hope for a better year

For a better me
