2024 Resolution Book

In 2024 I'm replacing my front door, Now to visit me, you must have a key It won't be constantly open no more. I found out that I have very few friends Instead I have acquaintances that on me depends, Ignoring them is my solution, my New Year's resolution To those who tricks, wants and pretends. I was used one time to many I've given my very last sigh and penny, This coming year I will not be abused, or used Not by you or by them or by any. In this coming New Year I promise to myself I will shed one less tear, From a broken word, which I had heard And that person is not even here. I'll remember who gave me a birthday card Who treated me in the highest regard, Who beside me stood, because they could When my life was saddened and hard. I have less acquaintances in the winter time Unless they need to borrow a dime, But, in the summer, when there's no thunder Then to my acquaintance's I am only then prime. I use to think that the worst thing in life Was not to have friends or a girlfriend or a wife, And to end up all alone, so my help and kindness was shown But, I ended up with people who gave me pain and strife. In life no one ever goes though more trash Loosing faith and trust and even their cash, Being used and slowly taken apart Than a person with a good heart. I'm starting a New Year resolution book With the names of my true friends take a look, If you don't see your name, isn't that a shame It's all because you're a liar, cheater, user or a crook.
