Resolutions Not Abandoned

Write a story or poem about the one resolution NOT abandoned.

Resolutions swirl in a sickening frenzy of wanting to change
To make the best of ourselves as we make a fresh start...
But too many hit the bump and shatter in the light of reality.
Dieting and healthy habits
What a farce, I think to myself
As I stuff another Turtle down my gullet,
Followed by a chips and a B-52 shooter.
There seems to be no end to my appetite.
And exercise, I laughed heartily....
now that about coves me for the day.
My hope to stop f***ing swearing lasted all of ten minutes
Dropping that beer bottle on my foot didn't help
It is still throbbing from the glass embedded...
Have I managed not to abandon any?
Well, yes... there is one...
I have managed to avoid any fighting
With my ex...
But then again, I did delete him from my contact list.
And I haven't returned any of his calls...
Does that count?
