this year, i traveled
this year, i left my home
not my house, not my town, i left my country
and when i returned, i felt sorry.
this year, i stayed indoors
this year, it was freezing
2016 was gone so fast,
I couldn't believe it was in the past.
In the beginning school had me feeling blue,
Especially because I had to stay past two.
Graduation day came and it was a big deal,
The direction say, "A Year in Review"
But how did a year pass so fast?
I look back, to try and remember
What happened in this year past.
First comes to mind, the bad:
Elections, Trump, killings
scared confused happy
anticipatory worried nervous fragile
elated euphoric dazed
tired
exhausted
ready
2016 came full of promise and hidden motive,
where I searched for a comfort the year seemed devoid of.
Between failed marriage, lonlieness and pretending,
it seemed this years negativity would continue without ending.
a breath: in, out
again, faster
faster still, until they stop coming
release
a noise in my head
it rushes
like a tide, pulled by the moon
like blood, pumping through my veins
January
I am so excited for
The snow to fall again
The anticipation of
New Years Resolutions
Somehow I always fail
Spring time
April means
Leaves are growing
Flowers are blooming
