I did not ring in the new year
with sparkly attire,
champagne celebrations
or fistfuls of wishful grapes,
that might not have been appropriate
given the lives lost this year
by bullets
by water
by subway trains
But what am I saying,
WE survived though, didn't we?
The doomsday apocalypse
was just a myth,
and yesterday,
being surrounded by people
I knew back in high school, in college
proves that love,
in the form of friendships,
can withstand anything from
my own personal wreckage.
I'm still here.
We're still here.
But moving forward,
now marks a new year where I
don't just applaud myself
for merely surviving.
This will be
a year
in which
I thrive.
