2016 .. my "hard year"
forged at the hand of physical strife
indelibly stamped by death
2016 .. my "hard year"
ushered in with fear
sustained by grief
2016 .. my "hard year"
plagued by depression
debilitated ... frozen
I should despise it
this poisoned bit of time
mountainous misfortunes
But like that old blue building
weathered and standing
just over the wall
I open again my rickety door
allowing new tools
a place to reside
Illuminating this worn exterior
for any passerby
to enjoy
From angst to gratitude
for this new life
I am humbled
Humility and Joy created new found courage to declare
"Fuck the real world .. I'm an Artist"
in 2016 .. my "hard year"
