2013

There was just darkness,
And I only saw nothing,
And yet in total emptiness,
I searched for everything,
I was blind yet still walked,
And roamed like a lost sheep,
I denied myself the truth,
And neglected feelings deep,
and then like a small lit match,
I found the smallest of light,
But in the total darkness,
It truly did feel so bright,
But I took the tiny match,
And lit a lantern to glow,
So I threw the match away,
It was a mistake, I didn't know,
For the lantern blew out quickly,
The match caused darkness to burn,
Though the fire brightly lit my way,
After the darkness it was my turn.


Happy New Year! This sums up my year of 2013 pretty well.

Dear Friend

Just when I thought it was time to give up,
Everyone around me was putting me down,
Suddenly came a beautiful glimmer of hope,
Someone who taught me to flip my frown.
I learned once again what friendship truly was,
Coming from someone who had once felt my pain,
A new friend I found, a new hope, a fresh start,
To feel joy and happiness and emotions again.
Here i dedicate this to you, from my heart,
Especially after all that you've done for me,
Accept my thanks in this poem, dear friend,
Now know I boast you my greatest friend with glee.
