My Hope for the New Year

My hope for the year 2026
is for me to heal and try to fix
my waves of grief and stabs of pain
that flatten me daily and keep me from gain
in my faith, future, and doing well at my job
I feel like I am running in place and feel like a glob
of struggle, grief, no concentration, and lots of reaction
to small things that turn into a huge distraction
from what I am trying to accomplish and find
which is peace in my soul, heart, and mind
