Happy Birthday (My year in Poetry)
Another stupid year gone by.
Such a hard one this was.
Eight months of pain,
Four of joy.
For so long, tears flowed from mine eye.
All because,
I was so vain,
And was folly to the ploy.
Now I find my ease,
And can smile once more.
What a journey that was made,
To reach this new plateau.
I can do as I please,
Unlike never before.
The price has been paid,
To earn the knowledge I know.
One with a hand in mine,
Wind whipping westward across the sky,
A sliver lining has broken the night,
And brought forth a brand new day.
Fingers intertwined,
As another gust come billowing by,
And the leaves on the ground take flight,
They wrap around us all the way.
A warrior has been born,
In that violent square.
Faithfully following his fate,
When no one believed he could.
He was forged in the scorn,
Of those memories back there.
He rose past the hate,
And did what he should.
So this year has slowly gone the way of the Dodo,
And will never come back again.
Trading one love for another,
Beginning life anew.
And now another has begun to go,
As I bear the Blood Sin,
I have cast off my brother,
And started to walk on through.
Second star to the right,
Follow your dream.
Live life without regret
Be free.
I wish I could stay that course day and night,
But even a salmon will spawn in the wrong stream,
However, now a new challenge must be met,
A new year has come before me.
Such a hard one this was.
Eight months of pain,
Four of joy.
For so long, tears flowed from mine eye.
All because,
I was so vain,
And was folly to the ploy.
Now I find my ease,
And can smile once more.
What a journey that was made,
To reach this new plateau.
I can do as I please,
Unlike never before.
The price has been paid,
To earn the knowledge I know.

Wind whipping westward across the sky,
A sliver lining has broken the night,
And brought forth a brand new day.

And the leaves on the ground take flight,
They wrap around us all the way.
