Amanda Gorman has revealed a brand new poem for New Year's.
The piece is called "New Day's Lyric." She revealed that she wrote the poem to "celebrate the new year and honor the hurt and the humanity of the last one."
There is also a video of her reciting the poem in an empty theater.
In the poem, she says, "This hope is our door, our portal. Even if we never get back to normal, someday we can venture beyond it, to leave the known and take the first steps. So let us not return to what was normal, but reach toward what is next."
