I think of all the laughs and tears
As the new year comes to an end
And all the ups and downs
I've had with family and friends
I think of the jokes that were made
And the death that broke me
I think of the the struggles right now
But try not to let it choke me
I think of words unspoken
And tears not shed
I think of the successes
As I remember the dead
My trials and my hurt
I swear, won't be for long
It's just really hard right now
To feel so alone
Alone in my head
Trying to fight a new anxiety
Of not being good enough
That's just the devil's fallacy
I'm strong, I work hard
And this is just a bump
I know he's REALLY trying to take me out
But mad 'cause I won't jump
I am not your puppet
Not a game for you to play
So go back to the darkness
Because I AM here to stay
Just know this year's beginning won't be easy
But the best fights can be rewarding
The devil's really trying to get my soul
But Jesus made it so he can't afford me
Just pray for me and send good vibes
As we all walk through this new door
It's about to be blessings and favor galore
In this new year of 2024
