Not-So-Happy New Years
Frozen feelings upon the new season
Unhappiness for no reason
Days go by almost the new year
The next year brings great fear
We don’t know what is yet to come
Temperature so cold my fingers go numb
Hidden in fear
For the New Year is almost here
The darkness appears
This brings a great fear
Crying among the midnight sky
The light of the moon up high
Into the unknown reason
Now brings the new season
The new year now appears
Brings great cheers
Many go out to celebrate
Even not knowing the year’s fate
Maybe there is greatness to come
But what if last year was just a crumb
Unknown of what might occur
The knowing's of this year are a blur
Seeing friends as a group
The healthiness rate starts to droop
What if they don’t live to see next summer?
That would bring yet another bummer
