New starts

How many times
Have I started again?

Each time I decide
Each time I move
New friends
New house
New job
New me

But then every year
I try to start again
New plans
New ways
New habits

Every week
Every Monday
New lists
New plans
New timetables

Every morning
Where you forget the guilt of yesterday
And plan on building on the guilt of today

Every minute
Every second
Every blink

New Years Blues

I'm fighting fit now
ready to start again
ready to face a beautiful year
coming straight from a beautiful time

I was standing there
Living life
feeling the happiness around me
the lives all pushed together watching the world wind down
watching the world turn
into a new year
into a new life

and somebody swiped my phone

in the midst of happiness
in the middle of a new start
somebody decided to take mine away

maybe it will get to them
maybe they will wake up and hand it in
maybe they wont care

in either case

this will not phase me

my life will go on,
my life will continue

and their souls shall be damaged
by this case of injustice

then again,
this is a new start
a new phone

a new view of life

I can feel it in my hand
in my pocket
in my land
it is here with me
something they cant take away
its close to me
close to my heart
it cost a lot
it lived a lot
it still has a lot to live

and I don't care if they say its only a phone
it brings happiness
lets me talk to people I love
has my books and my music
has my notes and my book
has my creativity and my images
my memories

luckily
I can get all those back
its only money

it would be nicer if they gave it back though
