To the year I cannot forget -2022
In a journey of thousand miles,
The tale of whims and smiles.
Scowling our way through the darkness drawled,
We danced through the night, the ballad of life they called.
Ensnaring lies that everyone resolute to,
With a belief to embark on a new horizon on new year’s eve,
The world was determined to turn a new leaf
Alas, the convoluted scythe of the time chose otherwise,
To shatter the vision of beginnings beheld in our eyes
As the world embraced your presence,
2022 you forged to be a year of remembrance.
Through the tinted glasses of hope,
Levitating with the passion of burning desires.
I witnessed life in a tiny envelope.
A letter that entitled itself as my fate,
The fires that ignited my soul were left out of the gate.
Surmounted with fears and an uncertain vision of tomorrow,
I trotted the road of life with agony and sorrow.
Humans are all torn pieces of existence fixated on the mortal thread,
Battling our lives with armours of faith before we reach our death bed.
I halted on my way to see if there was any light at the end,
Knocked down by trials at the bend.
I tried to fathom the future that you were about to bring,
To abscond the darkness and see the song of spring.
But as the end of the tunnel came near,
2022 whispered in my ear.
I know you are afraid,
Afraid of what lies ahead,
Afraid of what is left behind.
I know you have felt pain,
You want to be lost in a land where you are never found,
To be loved in a way where the demons never hound.
I am here to remind you of yourself.
To remind you that in the times when you felt strayed,
You were the one who never betrayed.
In the times when wanted to give in,
The half-torn pieces of your heart empowered you from within.
In times of darkness and plight,
When no one came to save from the stars
You forged to become your light,
To be the strength behind your scars.
Remember that in the times when thought you wouldn’t survive,
The wings of hope kept you alive
I was a testament to your strength that bids adieu,
Yours
2022.
