A Year Brand New
A year approaches, this one brand new
So eager to start
There is not much time to review
We first find ourselves sunk at the bottom of the ocean
Dejected, missing the presence of any uplifting emotions
Not to worry, here we discover that our life is a magnificent work of art
Clearly flawed, yet still so full of heart
In our constant race toward perfection, we subject ourselves to pain
It is difficult to accept that
Failure is bound to happen, over and over again
We were never meant to be infallible
Unnaturally sparkling, unblemished
We remind ourselves that rough diamonds can also be beautiful
---
Being sensitive, we often fully felt the shift between seasons
Transitions from old to new
Changes happening for almost no reason
And it was so easy to feel defeated
Perhaps from recounting a last visit, mourning a stranger, or attempting to face our demons
Thankfully,
We found the quiet moments
Looked out for the moon's presence, so lovely
Finally,
We chose to free ourselves from the restriction of fear
It was time to embrace, to accept, the glowing promise of another new year

Author's Note
This poem is a compilation of a few of my poems from the past year. I figured it would be a cool challenge to try to patch them together to make one piece. Happy New Year! 💗

Interesting!
The fact that you could seam so many of them together speaks volumes of how you stay true to a path of personal faith in yourself and the future. Which also is why I like seeing your material when you submit it. You are a gem in here.

Thank you, Styx!
Honestly, I really had to push myself to come up with something to write to finish out the new year. I've been lacking inspiration, lately, but the idea of creating a summative poem for 2022 was exciting. I appreciate your continued support of my writing, and wish you a happy new year!
