A New Year is Near

Over the hill

And far away

The plan I once had

Rolls off

Further and further

Down

Sinking so low

That the weight

And my worth

Won’t let it come up again

So, I binge

I shake

And I fail to see the other side

Of the hill

A new peak

One I haven’t seen before

Comes out

But only when I am

No longer drunk

Only when I shed

The blubber that keeps

My eyes low

When I no longer hang

Onto what was before
