When midnight comes I will not run into the arms of my regrets

Nor will I fear the pain of wounds that have not scathed me yet
3
I will stand upon the border of this year and the next and say farewell with open hands and a whispered thankfulness.
4
And when midnight comes I will not tie a burden round my neck
5
and weigh down my soul with resolutions to validate my breath.
6
Instead I'll bless this new beginning and who I am becoming.
7
But we are works of our unfinished, a living canvas full of colors.
