What are your goals for the new year? 3 months, 2 weeks ago Of Me
KGEvery year she asks.
I peel off my skin
scour for shortcomings
failures.
Pen to paper before the deadline
when two arms reach for the heavens.
One night makes us new
clean.
This night defines our goodness
our worth.
2024?
What will I feverishly change
reject
in the name of betterment
self hatred?
2023.
Magic came as pain
pain as fog
disguised healing.
So when she asked,
what needs to be fixed?
I know.
It’s the part of us that asks such questions
the part of us that is her.
I say,
this year will be hard.
It will require more
more than a year’s work
more stillness
more rest
more presence
more silliness
more creativity
more healing
2024?
There will be more.
More for me.
More of me.Voting is closed
Kelsea! I love your ending!
This part is beautiful:
“more than a year’s work
more stillness
more rest
more presence
more silliness
more creativity
more healing
2024?
There will be more.
More for me.
More of me.”
