The music is playing
Whistles blowing all around me in joy of celebration
Confetti falling to the ground
People hugging and kissing
Wishes of the new year being passed on
I force a smile to cover my frown
Despite being surrounded I feel more alone than ever
Wanting no one else around me but you
I try to think happy thoughts
A tear almost escapes my eye
I know I should be happy but life is hard
I go outside to escape
Getting fresh air to clear my mind
Needing a fresh start in life and love
I look to the future and the possibilities are endless
My future is hopeful and enticing
It is a new year and a new start!
