2016

A year ago tears sent my mind in a shock

I felt like I had lost a friend who felt was bought

I found new ways to express my thoughts

Using a weapon to connect the dots

Fear took my breath and chocked my neck

Yet I still fought on, I still passed the test

I say last year wasn't the best

wars, politics, inequality was stressed

But If were talking about my life 

they're were many things I had to confess

many lies I had to undress

I had to banish my pride from my head

I wrote my stressful days away 

like the lead on paper

I bled and felt like I was on my deathbed

I remember the words she said

They grew a migraine

and through dirt on me as it tread

I guess this year I was fed by my blindness

looking for someone who would drown me in kindness

But I only ended up creating madness and just lack thereof

I wonder about this new year, As I look above

I try not to worry

I try not to cry

Sometimes my vision will be blurry

But in the end I'll be fine

As long as I have my mind

I can accomplish anything

My only limit is the sky
