i am running into a new year
and the old years blow back
like a wind
that i catch in my hair
like strong fingers like
all my old promises and
it will be hard to let go
of what i said to myself
about myself
when i was sixteen and
twenty-six and thirty-six
even thirty-six but
i am running into a new year
and i beg what i love and
i leave to forgive me

📅
the first month of the new year
ringing bells with tunes of hidden memories, filling me up with tears
tear through the seven layered skin and sew me a bag of brand new fears
make the people of hatred come together to save this sphere
be kinder to the gentle deers and enlighten the insincere
january, send letters of strength to persevere that last till the end of this calender year

Its a new year
A fresh plate
A clean slate
I bought grapes to eat under the table at midnight
To find my love
But i ended up forgetting while i was cleaning my room
Something i told myself i want to do for me
And i wrote a goal list
Decorated my notebook
Laughed
Danced
Sung at the top of my lungs
And i think thats my sign
Leave the search for this man
Put that passion into yourself
Search for me
Laugh
Dance
And sing at the top of your lungs
You are whole
All of you
Beautiful
Theres nothing missing
Nothing to search for
No grapes to eat under tables
