False starts… lost places, people and hope
So much misery makes it hard to cope.
Growing up, life seemed like a wonderful opportunity,
But now it’s an unending maze of adversity.
Its as impossible to navigate as the Cretan Maze
And you wander, hopelessly lost… in the surrounding haze.
Like a never ending cycle; 365 days and it starts again…
Like an old rerun from start to end.
As I sit and stare at the year that passed…sitting still as another comes fast
Before I know it too much time has flown past,
You become a little more jaded.
Hardly recognizing myself, I seem to have faded
The miseries of the world make me wonder about the future
Asking questions like: is it worth having kids?
You look in the mirror and say that isn’t me…some how the world catches up eventually.
Never realize life could be this way…it seems to smirk as it steals your fate.
Expectations, aspirations, get drowned out…
And yet another rebel loses the last bout
You stand and look at people who have moved on…
But in the standing and looking the moment has gone
Girlfriends marry and move away…
And life seems burdened with the choices you make
Choices you believe will set you free…
And give you a taste of ecstasy
But somehow all that’s left is a lingering aftertaste…
Of what life had to offer, but that’s all a waste
You have all these choices, yet what happened to the moments when you could sit back and smell the roses
Those moments get lost as another door closes.
Those were the years of childhood innocence and daring companions
Running through the fields of sweet wonder and adventure, hand in hand
But I ran so fast I flew over the edge…
And dropped into a place I couldn’t comprehend.

You've clearly put a lot of thought into this and so many things ring true.
I think every year starts full of hopes and expectations and ends with the inevitable "what ifs".
Maybe this year really is the one to change it all, who knows ?
