Details of the Past

Another year

past

vanished

gone.

Are you going to hold onto it?

Are you going to remember

Every Little Detail

That made it your best

Or worst.

It broke you

You are covered in bruises.

The black and blue pressed into your skin

"This was the year"

But it wasn't.

The promotion never came.

And you never reached your dream

So what will next year be?

Will you focus on the past

Hinder your next chance

To even breath.

Ah, me too.

I've been there.

I still may be

right. there. too.

But. I've been blessed.

I look to my friends.

I look to my family.

All around me so, so happy.

(And I may grumble

And may act spoiled.

But I know that I have something good.

In this moment .)

So I'll drink to their health

And remember them all.

And hope that this next year 

I remain so lucky.
