Another Year Came and Went

Another year came and went.

Yet by my family, not a single candle was lit.

I don't blame them, their emotions have been dim.

Times are troubled

and their misfortunes have been doubled.

But still, it only takes a word

for my assumptions to be unblured.

Despite this overlook and my lover being took,

I've had a good year. I've conquered many fears

and consumed many beers trying to lesson the tears.

I've acomplished some goals and dropped some dreams

so now my future gleems.

I only see the good

and now understand what has been misunderstood.

So yes, despite this overlook and my love not being here

I've had a decent year.

Cool poem, It's like reaching a new year, looking back and realizing that all the good stuff, was better than the bad, nice.
