January 1st: The new year will bring many failures and many triumphs. The level of these battles is unknown January 2nd: I will shed my skin and be free of all my worries. January 3rd: The warmth of the sun is your distant touch. January 4th: To rid yourself of the evil people who poison your mind with their sharp words and snake like tongues. January 5th: I am not God. I am sorry, I can not save you. January 6th: She was the ocean on a calm summer's night. The tides which were her thoughts came to her slowly, but never failed to come. January 7th: I am only worried when you're around me. January 8th: My life sentence is almost over. January 9Th: To my loved ones, I am what you want me to be When you want to be sad I will be When you want me to be mad I will be I will only be lonely If you leave me January 10th: You can not get to me if I am sleeping. January 11th: To anyone who has ever hurt me, Thank you for helping me become the man I am today. Thank you for every feeling Every tear And every scar You gave me.
