This Time Poem by T. M. Moore

This time you really mean it. It will all
work out, you're sure. This time won't be like last
time, or like all those other times, long past.
This time you've got the details, great and small,
in proper order, and you're ready.  This
time, well, you'll see, some things will change. You just,
you simply must believe, you've got to trust
it will be so. This time it just can't miss.

But you're still you, the same old person who,
so many times before, resolved and swore
and promised - to yourself and others - you
would change, would get it done, and never more
would let yourself - and others - down. You'll do
it this time. This time won't be like before?
