Unfinished Business in 2019
I took a step back to observe what’s around me,
I see postings of new year resolutions for 2020
Friends but not my friends talking about,
"I wanna be a better me"
When the hell did we leave 2019?
2020, I'm not even ready.
Am I the only one who feels that time has passed them by
With a pause on thoughts for the future life
have I no more dreams to follow
have I no desires,
no plans,
aspirations?
Of course I want to be a better me,
I've been trying all year.
Will this new year wash my slate clean,
Will it automatically wipe my utility bills from, I can't afford it, to zero dollars and zero cents?
Why are we so caught up in believing that a new year brings happiness
As soon as the clock strikes twelve?
Well I’m here, I made it to 2020, thank God.
Now I'm back to figuring out how to finish
My unfinished business of 2019.

Dear CB,
What a fantastic insightful poem!
How very true. So the calendar reads 2020. I’m still going to get those damned bills and deal with the same annoying issues I’m plagued with from 2019 and all the years previous to this one. What will make me a different person from last year? I’m still going to be polite and hope for positive changes. Will a change of mind set make this happen? I guess I’ll have to hope so. Your write is the most honest down to earth write I’ve read and I’m grateful to have seen it. Thank you. H🌷
