The year turns over, a fresh blank page

erase the shadows, release the rage

old voices fade, old wounds depart

the future waits to mend your heart.

Accept the missteps, let them go

they taught you more than you will know

forget the past, the bitter, the pain

embrace the sunlight after rain.

Each day a chance to start anew

to shape a life both bright and true

delete the toxic, welcome the kind

and leave the heavy chains behind.
