New

New year,

Same nonsense.

Numbers change,

but people tend

to stay the same.

Day in, day out

Trying to remind ourselves

Why life

is worth living

So many things

Screaming

Filling our minds

...distracting us.

Deep breath

Silence settling

Leaving us wondering

Who are we

without the noise?

Who are we

when the numbers change?

Happy New Year, everyone!
