TWENTY NIGHTEEN

What a year!
A year that tied me like a goat
Prepared to be slaughtered.
A year that tied a rope-
To my fan
Hoping I'd end it all.
A year that sent assassins
In form of doves
To draw a horizontal line on my neck.
A year that cuffed me
Like a criminal
Being transfered to a prison.
A year that teleported my friends
To a far away land
With no hope of returning.
A year that gave me a dangerous spear
Hoping I would lie down
And never rise up.
A year that mailed boxes of smile
To others and
Forgot my mail box.
A year that gave birth
To my twin brothers
Living inside me.
"A year that gave me
An elixir for proctection
But rendered it useless to me"
A year that brought kings and queens
To my rusty, rat-infested, ruined house
To help put things in order.
A year that took me
To the past
To enlighten the future.
A year that cuddled me
After being tormented
By depression and failure.
A year that saved me
From the claws of death
And blessed me to move on.
A year that constructed
A path filled with butterflies and flowers
For me to move on with life.
A year that will never
Fade away like smoke
From my memory.
