Me, unraveled

Lost in thought

One fine winter morn, I had the urge to purge

Blankets were folded, socks put on, all while on the verge

Out in the freezing cold, snow was dropping slow

In the warmth of the hearth, my heart was still so cold.

Years had rolled by; my wishes had been denied

The desire to find my true self, had burned my insides

I had one final task, to ignore others disparage

To be born again in glory, having been unmasked.

Discovering my interests, laying bare all the secrets

Purging my insecurity, there is no need to fret

Whom am I to thank, perhaps the snow out in the street?

Not giving a care is not a simple feat.

Of the sprouting darkness inside me, I need not be afraid

Flickers of insights keep me from going astray

A new year, a new day materialises as an escape

On the other side of the year, it’s gonna be a whole new me.

Happy new Year 2022!
