How to live the next 365 days:

10 days
To remember how it feels like to begin again
33 days
Of non-consecutive sadness that you never asked for
56 days
Of exploration
For your compass is a ticking clock
Go places and meet faces
Nothing found without a loss
200 days
Of mindless rout(in)e
Drowning in a system of (ter)ror
A mechanism of much (lac)k
But there is sanity in rigidity met(ed)
(And reckless will come)
12 days
Of alone time
Once a month
31 days
In December
Waiting for the next year to come
20 days
Of trying to go for a run
3 days
Without seeing the face of the sun
And 365 days
To discover yourself

365 days
Of ticking boxes
But before that
Cross out the resolution in its 5th year running
And accept that some things
Are just not meant to be
365 days of contentment
With yourself and your surrounding
For nothing shall call you victim
And lastly
365 days of loving
Whoever they are and whatever it is
Because no feeling in the world
Is better than this
