A new year has arrived
but the same old issues remain.
Nothing has changed for you
it’s just another link in the chain
that ties you down
so, you can’t break free.
No matter where you look
you won’t find the key
to open the lock
and rise to your feet,
then with some relish
this new year you can greet.
Instead you fear the passing days,
hopelessly feeling like
you are lost in a maze.
A never-ending circle of doubt
with no one around to hear you shout.
