"why do you deserve happy ending? Out of seven billion people, someone has to suffer."


I see no great importance, to the changing of the year,

its just another excuse to drink another beer.

 

Sure, some people kiss at the drop of the midnight ball,

but other people stay at home, and do nothinf at all.

 

The bars are full of people, most rowdy and loud,

and through the streets people roam, forming a large crowd.

 

Waiting in awe of nothing more than another midnight,

January first, once again, the sky begins to light

 

Nothing new has happened, so home do they head,

forgetting everything, and heading off to bed.

 

The new year means nothing, very few will change,

all of these rituals seem very strange.


The author's comments:

In one of my classes we were given a list of questions, one being "is new years important to you?" and with our question we had to find a creative way to answer, so I chose to take what i like to call, the Dr. Suess way, and make a very rhyme filled poem.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

This is different, and I love it. It's very beautiful and vivid and honest with feeling. You have a lot of talent and greatness and light and beauty that is your own; and so much more. You're a talented and wonderful and beautiful writer and person. All what I say and so much more is true. Thank you so much for sharing this, my friend. It was amazing, and I hope that you continue writing because I look forward to reading more of your work. Thank you, again, @AllyssaWrites. :)

I agree with your views on new years, I never really understood what was the big deal hahaha. One day ends, another begins.
