in 2017 i’ve had many drunken nights
laughing and giggling as the alcohol takes
over my body making new friends every second

in 2017 i’ve gotten high feeling euphoric and calm
with glossy bloodshot eyes as I continuously take hit after hit letting the drugs take control

in 2017 i had a stable job at a restaurant meeting new people everyday smiling and taking their order and that’s where I got close to him I got to know him

in 2017 i graduated high school feeling accomplished that I had completed 4 years of dreadful school no more roaming the halls or skipping class

in 2017 i met him at work we got to know each other bonding over little things I’ve ridden in his car multiple times and I’ve realized that I’m infatuated


in 2018 i will be strong i will focus on my writing
trying to write one poem a day about anything that
comes to mind

hello. its me.
alive and breathing
walking into a new chapter
of a new book
of my auto biography.

mentally I've grown.
new state of mind
developed in an essence of my own.

one year.
me, myself & I
three hundred & sixty five
days,
of my life

welcoming new opportunities
embracing changes
yet to come
here's to page 1.

The eyes of Times Square stared in wonder,
To a New World just yonder -
A World of Hope,
A World of Love,
A World of Faith;

Yet all I see;
Is despair - repetition
Like a song,
Forever on repeat ''

If I want to change
Then I will do so myself
Without any help

So it's a new year
And I'm expected to change
But I do not care

I am on my own
No other situation
Makes me dependent

There's too much to do
It feels that I cannot do
But I can and will

Everyone changes
By making their own choices
Not for the new year
