...a great crash.

They begin as discontentments
in the imaginations of the mind
They surface as firm resolutions
that will certainly contribute
to a new you, a happier you,
a more stable contented you.

Behind the imaginings of the mind
hiding in the shadow lurks the sure
knowledge that the resolutions will 
inevitably be short lived as power
sufficient to upholding the promises
does not belong to you.

New Year's delusions might be stacked high
but the higher they are
then further they will fall
and they will fall with a great crash.
