The soul is ageless
The mind is restless
Another year has come and gone
And yet somehow my fighting spirit continues to live on
Sometimes i'm surprised at the resilience i've shown
I've stumbled--yes
I've faltered--yes
...but in some ways i have certainly grown
My life has mostly been a carnival of sadness
Sanity has never been the order of the day…
….it’s always been madness
At times the sense of loneliness cuts like a knife
If it weren't  for my parents,friends,books and poetry…I honestly wouldn't  have had any life
So now I look towards this year with hope and anticipation
I wish to have some moments of much needed elation
