Long awaited you have been Please don’t make me spin last year had enough twists and turns it’s certainly a time that’s been burned into my brain and the memories of us all As I am sure you recall Please do me a favor I’ll take you as my savior do not make this year hell I just want everything to go well Be the opposite of last year Let’s create a new frontier a better future where you are not the same abuser 2020 striped me of so much but 2021 it is you that I trust

Dear 2021
We come from different sides of reality oh, its quite a tragedy 5 foot 2 blonde hair blue eyes the reality some seem to despise Hidden behind every corner is a new obstacle one must attack Constantly I watch my back women in the world today constantly watching what we weigh lack of support so we try to conform Become exactly like you want yet my devils still haunt You will never know the truth to my reality oh its quite a tragedy

My Reality
I look at the mirror but I am unsure of what I see Of course on the outside she is me But I look at her eyes With that a little piece of me seems to die We are not the same  I keep my pain tucked inside But yet it does not hide I am who I am because of what went on I am who I am because of how I strived on She is the past I wish I could forget The one who is filled with regret  The one who questions her worth  Instead of knowing what she deserves  She is me and I am her Yet there is quite a few lines that we blur

Mirror of Me
I live in fear But never for myself Bystanders video, as the act done by “my people” takes place But I am not one of “my people” I live in fear Not from them, but for them Another mother who loses her son Maybe from a gun maybe from a cop kneeling on his neck Either way it is not correct Innocent lives lost, with no one to pay Day after day, the fear grows Sprouting into the unknown Pouting people pray But they could never repay “my people” keep their jobs And their lives I wish things could go my way For I would jump far forward to what I hope will be the good days

Fear
I am ready to go not too far I hope I’ve been distant and distracted it has caused a lot of traction who I was has faded I think back on all I traded I would have done anything for you but now I am left here without a clue no idea who I was no idea of what I’ll become but I hope that you’ll be happy I don’t regret all that happened I was gone long before I met you our time together was nothing more than a vacation I must leave again though until I have something I can show not for you, but for me I need to find my missing piece

Self Love
I never doubted that we were all equal After all we’re all just people We need to trust that our generation will correct The mistakes of those from the past We cannot fear what tomorrow will bring For we must focus on today’s things For centuries we have dealt with this type of brutality Which is why there are countless casualties This must end soon Although we will never heal their wounds

Change.
Never question where I stand I will always be there if you need a hand I will never judge you by the color of your skin But rather by what’s within Look at me when you need support For I will continue to reinforce The BLACK LIVES MATTER Even when we are not all gathered

The Power I Have
This quarantine has left us wrecked Mental illness we can no longer neglect nearly everyone has become depressed family bonds have been put to the test This level of trauma is hard to bare We were nowhere near prepared People say this might happen again in the future Hopefully it’s just a rumor Only time will tell Hopefully we can break this spell I wish we could be sure Because it is not something I wish to re-endure Even when this clears I will still live in fear With a pantry fully stocked a secret stash of hand sanitizer locked Maybe then I won’t be so shocked People have died Yet some believe it’s all a big lie The way this seems to work I am sure it will lurk In the back of our minds it will stay Until it comes back one day
