Thoughts On a New Year
12:00
Happy New Year!
Excitment surges within me
Another year gone
And a new one is dawning
A new millenium
I can't help but feel
Happiness, joy
For all I can think of is
Six more months till summer
Two more years till graduation
Another day closer to college
Another minute closer to the rest of my life
And yet, I feel sorrow
Bittersweet saddness
For as each second ticks by
My youth is fleeing me
These years and moments
I've so wished for are now becoming past
I can feel myself change
For I am becoming more and more aware
Of the ways of the world
I am no longer innocent
And I can see, feel
The child inside me
Skipping dreamingly away
