2010
learned to swim in an ocean filled with
jellyfish that didn’t sting,
seashells,
and more hands than i needed to hold
in a party that of more than four,
our brand new family strung together with salt water.
this time, everything is for the last time.
2011
this
is the
first ever time
my decisions are the
children of orphaned thoughts.
they swing across canyons of hope
attached to no rope.
reality is a maze with no roadmap.
2012
there is so much lesser now, than there used to be,
there is also so much more now, than there used to be.
somewhere nestled inbetween is satisfaction.
2013
today, my heart joined the gym.
the mission? twenty seconds of bravery.
2014
mission accomplished.
twenty minutes of bravery,
here i come.
2015
there was a time before.
there will be a time after.
from today, there is no going back.
2016
the trek has led to
an obstacle course.
let the games begin.
