Not Ready For New Year's

By Peyton1

Not Ready for New Year's


But I'm just not ready yet for a new year!
I'm not done wallowing in the misery of this year!

A new year...

Brings new fears,

Sheds new tears,

Gives no cheers,

As fate now steers,

Broken heart switch gears,

Exposed to my peers,

Burning in my ears,

While poked with spears,

A fresh mark appears,

Joy is in arrears,

Drink too many beers,

Funny looks from cashiers,

The lines are all smears,

Wish I was stilll in Algiers,

Walking down the piers,

At least there's souvenirs,

Where to bring in New Year's??

Any where but here.

Hell yeah I'm alone bringin' in the New Year!
A fifth of Patron, a fifth of vodka, and a keg of beer!

I'll drown in it just to hear my words slur!
It'd be much different if I could just find HER
