New Year, Same Ol' Me

Folder: 
Personal (Hope)

It is so difficult
to change
my stubborn ways.


This emotional,
perfectionist streak
is hard to break.


But I'm trying,
and that counts
for something.


I'm becoming
more mindful
of how I react.


I'm learning to
allow myself
to make mistakes.


I may not be
a new person
at midnight.


But I won't be
the same person
as yesterday.
