Birthday

 
 
 To celebrate commemorate, I've written this verse.
For the past year, at best, has extended its terse.
For the black that enveloped and smothered my all,
Has thankfully receded; an ascent from the fall.
 
For the ebony cloak that shrouded my joy,
Came for the hat trick, and rendered me coy.
But this one was different, a duo in force;
Numb, and deflated, strangled remorse.
 
The trudge, and the dredge and the suffocated ego,
Called into question 'where the fuck did she go?'
Reflects and processes; concludes pragmatic,
The hyper obsolete, remainder empathetic.
 
Breaking the cycle of crushed resignation,
Suddenly strength surfaced, without hesitation,
I clung to it tight, climbed, came awake.
Those wings that were lame, at once, reinstate.
 
Don't lessen the spirit, tenacious thee,
Explore all the corners, resolve comes from me.
And now I assess the errors I made...
The friends I have lost, loved ones that stayed.
 
And the lessons I've learnt in the year that passed,
Imprint their experience; oaken aura cast.
So to my true loves, my safety net crew,
My all is ever grateful for the existence of you.
