On your request, I compile a list
Of my top five resolutions for this year (one!)
I declined ‘cause I decided that I (two!)
Do not believe in the new year anymore (three!)
And you must confess that at times like these
Hopefulness is tantamount to hopelessness (four!)
And I accept that it’s time for a change but not in
Places like this with people like these (five! five! five! five! five!)
