Goodbye, old year,
You are the now outgrown child\'s overalls, placed in a charity bag to be passed on, making room for new things.
You are now the bottles previously purchased for consumption before the annual firework displays
You represent the old schools students will no longer be attending as they grow and progress down their destined paths.
You are the diseases that we have endured, while you successfully claimed some for the Reaper.
You are the old, worn-down shoes we sadly have to let go, like losing an infected limb or a toy we loved as a child.
You are the old year, now stored in the archives of time.
Welcome, new year,
You are the new pair of shoes we have yet to walk in.
Happy New Year. <3
