"Another Year"


Yet another year gone by,
With another list of mistakes,

Looking upon the list I cry,
Another failed year this makes,

To write down all I've done,
Would not be within my favor,

Another year, another one,
Another heartache to savor,

Still working on year ninety-six,
And five years behind I be,

How the hell will I ever fix,
All that continues to be haunting me,

Rapidly approaching two thousand and three,
Un-aware of what I'll do,

Chained by the past I'll never be free,
A new list for two thousand and two,

Yet another year, has gone by,
Filling my heart with fear,

Longing for the day I die,
So I can avoid the coming year.
