My 2016
Twenty-Sixteen.
Year of chance, year of love, year of heartbreak.
Love was lost as partners left,
Loneliness engulfed kids as divorce struck them
Leaving them longing-
Longing for a new beginning, one with love.
However,
This year of heartbreak was
Also
The year of recovery.
Children became familiar
With the things they loved-
I declared I desired to pursue music education,
I declared "I will get through this,"
Into the face of depression.
I prevailed- I conquered.
Joining Cheer,
Becoming a drummer,
Auditioning for honor ensembles,
Never quitting at the game of life.
2016, I conquered.
Sincerely, Me.
