Resolutions that didn’t follow me

Flipping through the dog eared pages,
Of a journal used for ages.

Find texts from inciting days,
Find to-do lists still unmarked,
And unwritten goals embarked.

Plans to pen down much better pieces,
And to tour mics and stages of gold,
Confidence, everyday, decreases,
And fear supplants the roots I tagged “bold”.

Plans to grow long hair and fatter wages,
Read book series till my mind enrages,
To tour all places I loved and remarked,
But I sat searching for muse where dogs barked,
And insist never to inscribe resolves.
