I used to write from a place so dark
after the holidays, maybe I'm doomed to repeat
So right now I'll revel in love and reflection
And focus on family and our joy quite replete
Even though winter is often the culprit
of what seems to be a never ending type of sorrow
I am also aware that I will not give it strength
I will not give it another second of my life to borrow
I have recently pushed through and
made a few more gains on my anxiety
But anxious or not, Christmas is almost here
and making it happen for people is important to me
So, putting on hold my thoughts of uncertainty
And trying out all of my newfound liberties
This happy feeling is the only gift I need
For however long it lasts, this moment I choose to seize
