Last night, I made a new years

resolution with myself,

and I made my head

and heart promise to never

think twice about breaking it,

or reading in-between

the lines of rules

that I set in stone.



This year, or what I told myself

when I was tipsy off of tequila,

I would rid myself of everyone

who could care less

about what I have to say,

and who’s emotions

always seem too synthetic

to actually be sincere.



So today, when I awoke

at 6 a.m. in a room

that smelled of regretful kisses

and misguided intimacy,

I felt my heart remove

all of the toxic waste

that my head considered

to be genuine understanding.



And now that it’s January 1st,

all that I can think about

is how I was ever able to

put-up with those who always

put themselves ahead of me.

And all I want to do is discipline

myself for ever thinking that they

would change just because time did.
