Goodbye 21
My 21st year of life is coming to an end.
This year I was an angel and a fiend,
An undesired neutral and a friend,
Lost, found, then quarantined.
In other words:
I will cherish the memories this year has brought.
I will put them all inside my tiny piggy bank for thoughts.
This year… Oh this year…
I will mourn it. I will detest it.
I will wait for its unlikely return.
I will write it down, tear it to pieces
And then I will watch it all burn.
It was a year of stagnation,
With fleeting moments of revelation.
It was a year of ruined ideals,
I even had a few last meals…
Nevertheless, we’re plowing on,
Forgetting the foregone.
