Poem; Am I alone in thinking this is the norm?

Just another New Year
When I fear, I will let myself down
With promises I can't keep,
Well, the most for two weeks!
That diet which I planned
Has been kicked into the land
Of never-never.
And exercise, perhaps tomorrow
I'll start, if I've got the heart.
Does anyone keep the resolutions
So sincerely made, with determination,
That has no relation, to me?
I promise to correct any of my sins,
However, that soon runs thin.
Producing all the excuses in the book,
Maybe I  appear better than I think,
If I don't look in the mirror over the sink,
And I can convince myself
That wad of fat will soon disappear,
All by itself , but I fear not this year.
I will try honest, but it's hard
Work, that I shirk, so now you know,
I will go, into 2014 bogged down
With guilt, for just a few hours,
And then I will do it all again
When next year reigns!
Happy New Year to you all.
Augustine Nash.
