2024

I cry real tears

Yet everybody hurts...

My heart is fulfilled

In some ways,

Because I am still here.

Behold the fireworks in the sky

I hope nobody died

For I'm just looking for a crutch

To hold my ways

And this year

I promise not to pry

Or live vicariously

Through other people's affairs

(Well that was never me anyway)

But I promise I won't do it...

To live is to die alone

In the wrath of the roses,

I shall die alone

In the beauty of the fireworks

And kiss the sky

With my undying love

Happy new year

To all the people,

For I am forever dying in misery

Wrapped in sunshine;

Oh look at how bright I am

For I am victorious through the fire...

Let us fight through the fire together

And slay the valleys of the storm

Well I am here, for now

I see a thousand balloons in my sight

And they are all very colorful...

For I am colorful within me.

And this quiet town

Will never be the same,

Cheers to a happy life...

And this life will never be the same

Without heat.

  • Comment from author about the poem: It's still unbelievable how fast this life goes. Especially when we get older. Yet I wonder what's in store for 2024. Every day I wish for world peace. It may be an impossible wish, but hey, I'm only human. I still have this massive anxiety within me, for a big part of me is scared for every new year. The unknown is crazy, for what will it be? I wonder. To everyone, happy new year. Try to think positive if that's possible, and take care of yourself. Peace, love, and light to you all.

    Good write M.
    A terrible 'game to play is 'What if.....?'
    What if - it all goes wrong, this or that negative thing happens, etc.
    We can't know - do we want to know all of the future anyway?
    Easy to say, harder to do maybe - we can only live one day at a time.
    A terrible thing is that we won't come up with 'What if' answers, as future things just have not happened yet. Or if we seemingly have 'answers' we won't know if they are correct or not, until an event happens - or doesn't happen.
