Confetti Dreams

Confetti dreams floating away
An innocence again is crushed
Under the weight of the fall 
Countdowns to unconsciousness
Filled in flutes of sorrow
As the masses mimic cheer

Confessions secretly stored
Under wraps of indesgression
Carried out the door
Self inflicted suffrage
Abandons another war

Anxious the path's unearthed 
Repentant intemperance subverts

Now that we are into the new year, I hope it brings you cheer. We can't always declare happiness as this poem expresses deep reflection. Blessings to you and yours this new year! : ) 7
