New Year's Wish

by

Ryan Harder

I got nothing to show for everything I've done
I got no friends who think of me at all
I got a lot of anger and sadness built up
I got no personal side, It got washed away
When I got hurt one too many times
So rather then keep on trying to make things work
I just choose to build a wall away from the world

Sometimes I wonder of how things would be
If I actually did have friends who did think of me
Friends who would take me out and have a blast with
Or even go out, have a laugh with when I need it most
But it is something I can only dream about
Because there is no one who I can really trust

As the clock strikes twelve on December 31st
And the day turns into January 1st
I just sit back and re-evaluate my life
I only think of what I should have done
I'm gonna turn twenty-one in June
And it seems that everything is just a missing piece

I do not think that I'm at fault
For the way I get treated by the other folks
There are so many hopes which turn out to be so many lies
People who I think are my friends
Turn out to be people who just want to lead me on

I never thought 20 would be such a bitch
But then again 2002 was very rough
I wish that 2003 could only be
A rebound year for me cause I'm too down
I wish to break these walls I built
But I cannot do it alone

I know that I am not down as you think I am
I'm just insecure about certain things
Maybe I care too much of how others
Think of me and I'm scaring myself
But there's nothing left for me to do
All I can hope is that the sun shines down on me again
