Pause,

The whole world may have reset on the new year. But a very few exists, for those who aren’t ready to reset with everyone. To start anew with the world. To all those souls who feel lost among the new year buzz.

“All the buzz of the new year
Questions from everyone near
Settled down in my ear

I asked myself in the mirror
What are you up to my dear?
Are you ready to let go of the fear?

Breaking down in tears
Cuz I don’t have an answer so clear
For this society’s judgmental smear

Even though it’s the start
Can I just hit pause,
Until I’m ready.”

It’s okay to not be out of sync with the world. You aren’t alone. You are allowed to hit pause, until you’re ready. Take the pause you need to be in sync with your clock, not the world’s.
