A Year Has Passed
A year has passed since my dream began
And ended in a depressing way
As those 365 days have ran,
I'm told, 'It'll be okay.'
Day by day heavier gets my heart,
But it wasn't like that always
I used to let 0430 be my start
On a ship for many days
It's never been as bad as after the fact
At least in last September
I was sad as hell to have to come back
And so I moved again in November
Anger, debt, and depression
Lying and some betrayal
Are the hardships of my progression
And it came close to making me fail
But the moral of this rhyme is to show the world
Of what I was, am, and will become
As my future road will bump and twirl
But, already I have won...
