A trembling hand and an aching heart
Recipe for misery, etched in parts
Truer intentions never existed
than those I hold tight to in my head
Stiffen that quivering lip
Hold on to those sarcastic quips;
Neither will be required this day
For today will mark a change in ways
Differences in thinking will - or may -
make me: Make me better, Make me smarter, Make me wise
Time now, to grow: Make some ties, break some ties
Eliminate the toxicity that causes a morose mind
Think slower, speak more efficiently
I will challenge.. ME
And I will learn, and I will grow, and I will..
JUST. BE.

Written at the Ike Box in Salem, OR Fri January 23, 2009 while eating an apple and sipping a white chocolate mocha at a little table in a corner, lost in thought. I think it was my first of the year - and I've written one other since, I believe. Maybe this new year will inspire me.
