In a year of total dismay
There were glimmering signs of hope
People who walked into my life I never thought I would meet
People who walked away I was glad to see leave
In a year full of hopelessness
I found a way to thrive
A way to survive
A way to grow stronger
Stuck in a room with only four walls
While the world crumbled outside
I found peace and comfort in myself
For the first time I felt myself becoming whole
Gaining enlightenment, I had lost touch with
I garnered the strength I had been building for years
Finally putting in the work and letting go of the fears
That had been holding me back
A year full of tragedy
Turned into a year of strength and personal growth
Letting go of toxicity and moving forward
A year that in the end wasn’t all bad
