This year
This whole year has seen me through it all
From going and going till I hit a wall
And since I've been moving for a while,
it was hard to go back to the right path
This year has opened in me a can of worms
Worms that I'd thought had died by now
But they're very much alive,
eating me from the inside
This whole year has seen me rise and fall
Rise to places I never new possible
And fall to places I never knew existed
New lows that I've been struggling to navigate
This year has seen me have the brightest smile
Genuine laughs with total strangers
And strange laughs among people I've known
For it doesn't just feel right anymore
This whole year has been a smoke screen
A taste of what it would be being infront of the big screen
It's shown me however much I think I'm ready
I'll truly never be unless I just step out into the sun
This year has shown me my limits
My tether points from which past this I'll break
And I challenged them as far as I could
And I broke hence I've been stuck with a few moves at the centre
This whole year has been a big test
One that I've sat too long doing
It's just a month till its over
But I'm still in class waiting to finish the test
