12.31.23

Time takes huge bites of

Life like it’s a pie,

Leaving me with less to decide wrong from right,

But I hope god has forgiven me for all the lies

I’ve ever said.


And yet again it took the last day of the year,

For me to realize it has passed- 

Everything seems more or less fine,

Yet here I am, my fingers crossed-

Tomorrow may be a hundred times more uncertain

the risks a thousand times higher,

I wonder what will keep me going,

I wonder when all the question marks will retire.


And yet again when the world is absorbed

In posting on social media, their most 

aesthetically presentable bits of this year,

I sit on my bed with my eyes shut,

Rethinking the moments that round lens

Missed to capture-

It feels satisfying to rewind,

An embrace of reassurance to the future

To which I am blind,

A comforting pat on the back

To the life I’m blessed to call mine.

Accompanied with a shiver of registering 

How a 365 day chunk is completed in my life.
