A Year Goes By
A year goes by
Overwhelming emotions that feel as if the world is exploding
As the year goes by,
I don’t notice myself slowly changing
A year of love
It’s hard when you fall in love
It’s even worse when it’s one of your best friends
A year of friends
Sometimes I feel as if I am the only one putting the effort in
I make new friends and I push some away
I rid myself of a toxic friendship and let myself be free
A year of pain
Unrequited love is the most painful experience
It’s as if everything is slipping out of my grasp and held just out of reach
A year of happiness
I go to work and forget about school and the fake friends that come with it
I spend my nights laughing with the most honest people I know
The only time of day when I am not holding myself back
A year of stupidity
Some people just don’t understand what I’m trying to say
I learn from my mistakes and won’t let people take me for granted
A year of confusion
When will I ever know who I really am?
And will I ever be able to tell anyone?
I think it’s time to let myself be free
