New Again

2023 was a weird year. Nothing necessarily bad, but not really good either. It was a year that I took away from this site to learn, step back, and reset. To write without sharing here. It was also a year that in my writing I never truly finished most peices I wrote. This one I wrote for the new year last year.

We're still dreaming of the days

The sun seems to stay

Waiting for the world

To leave disarray 

Existing in a state of stillness 

Like learning to breathe 

And simply be 

For the first time

And this time

I hope you find

What you want

The peace 

That you deserve 

Away from the panic

And everything that hurts

Cause no one's better off

When we're left

Broken in pieces 

We don't need

Another stupid year

For the chance

To start over again

Fresh start whenever 

We feel the need 

To reset

Take the moment

To catch 

Your breath

Dreaming of the last time

We felt like we were free

Intoxicated by life

Lost in the reality

We created

Just to burn it all

Like learning to breathe 

And simply be 

For the first time

Too much time

Has come and gone

Living life

And living small

Just to be lost

In what could have been

Building nightmares 

Instead of building aspiration 

Left behind

Waiting for someone

To let us be

New again
