The old year fades, a whisper in the night,
Leaving shadows, fading from the light.
I leave behind the self I was,
A new resolve, sets my path.

To shine more brightly, a beacon in the gloom,
To chase the darkness, banish every room.
With every dawn, a brighter day will rise,
Reflected in my own awakened eyes.

A new year's promise, a chance to mend,
A brighter future, where my dreams transcend.
Leaving the past, with all its weary sighs,
I'll rise and shine, beneath the open skies.
